Job Role

The new Multi-Generational Team has been created to help with outreach, bridging

the gap between the congregation and the community, and the development of

people's faith, across both Children & Youth and Adults. You will be working across

both sites. You will work closely with other members of the Multi-Gen team, and with

the Vicar, to implement the church vision and to help build and grow a team of

volunteers.

Joining a new team, within a relatively new revitalisation project this is an

the Churches.

the recruitment process, dependent on candidates’ availability. Hours to include

Friday afternoons and 2-hour provision on a Sunday. Working pattern to be agreed

upon. The role will include weekends and evening working. If the need arises to

work on a Bank Holiday time of in lieu will be given.

Multi Gen. Team

The Multi-Gen. team looks for ways to honour older members and empower younger

ones. John MacArthur said that the quickest way to become irrelevant is to define

yourself by your generation. The gospel is always relevant, and the Sacraments are

essential to guide and strengthen people. Everyone in every generation needs to know

how they can be made right with God. We believe that a multi-generational church is a

blessing because each generation can simultaneously learn from one generation while

caring for another generation.

The Multi-Gen. team intentionally brings together people of different ages, from

various generations, to work and serve together in ministries and activities. Unlike

simply having different age groups present in the same building, a multi-generational

team focuses on creating opportunities for these groups to actively interact, support,

and learn from each other through shared activities like worship, study, and outreach.

This approach values the unique perspectives and gifts of every generation and

fosters a stronger, more unified community.

We recognise that your passion may lie in working with Adults or with Children &

Youth. Within the Multi-Gen. team there are opportunities to lead in these different

outreach area’s.
