Pastor/Elder
Aigburth Community Church
Job description
We are a congregation of 110-120 adults and children of all ages, most of whom live local to the church building. We seek to more effectively reach our community and build up and train our congregation.
We are committed to world mission and have several meaningful connections with churches across Europe in particular.
Central to the role will be the prayerful proclamation of Jesus from the Scriptures in various contexts. We believe in a functional plurality of elders and that a paid elder's precise responsibilities will depend on their own gifts and how they fit alongside the gifts of the existing elders.
Required Skills
Qualities & gifts sought
- Godly character, as set out in the Scriptures.
- An able teacher in formal and informal settings. We are looking for someone committed to expository preaching of the Scriptures who is able to teach in a way that engages the heart. We believe that a sermon that has not affected the preacher is unlikely to affect the hearer either.
- Prayerful
- Committed to the truths set out in our Statement of Faith and Doctrinal Distinctives (these will be sent on request to those who we consider potentially suitable)
- Able to lead, equip and empower a small staff team
- Committed to discipling and training of church members
We are looking for expressions of interest and informal enquiries rather than formal applications in the first instance. Therefore, while the stated closing date is in March 2026, we may end our process sooner than that.All enquiries will receive a prompt response, and those who we consider to be potentially suitable will be sent more information with a view to further discussions.
