Pastor-in-Training

Charlotte Chapel

Charlotte Chapel is a baptist church in the heart of Edinburgh, whose members are devoted to seeing lives transformed through Jesus to the glory of God.

As a church family, we long to see healthy churches planted, revitalised, and strengthened across our city and nation. We are affiliated to the FIEC and the Pillar Network.
The Pastor-in-Training role is created under the conviction that the local church is the primary training ground for pastors. Seminary studies are important in order to prepare a trainee pastor for a lifetime of ministry, but growing in character, conviction and competency in preparation for shepherding a local
church is learned in the local church.
The Pastor-in-Training is a learner and as such you will:

• Serve alongside experienced pastors, learning through modelling, observation, and practical ministry.
• Lead in a specific ministry area, gaining hands-on leadership experience in a real church context under supervision.
• Grow through regular discipleship, receiving encouragement, correction, and guidance.
• Teach the Bible in appropriate settings, developing clarity, conviction, and confidence.
• Engage in pastoral care, visiting, discipling, and praying with members.
• Study theology as part of your working week, integrating academic formation with practical ministry (usually through Crosslands).

Our aim is to produce men who have been tested, taught, stretched, discipled, and entrusted with responsibility, men who can actually pastor a church.

Required Skills

A suitable candidate will be:

• Godly and committed to personal holiness
• Teachable, humble, and willing to receive feedback
• Convictionally baptist, able to affirm Charlotte Chapel's and FIEC's statements of faith
• Committed to and sent by his own local church
• Graduate (ideally) of a ministry apprenticeship in a local church

The Diocese of Newcastle is seeking a Community Missioner for St Michael's Byker.

Excited by the idea of being church in a different way? Looking to serve the mission of God in a distinctive location? Want to be at the heart of a unique partnership with a brand new £4m Youth and Community hub and revamped church building? Are you called to serve St Michael’s Parish in the middle of the iconic Byker Estate in Newcastle upon Tyne?

The Bishop of Newcastle is seeking to appoint a full-time Community Missioner (initial funding for five years) in the parish of Byker St Michael’s. This is an opportunity for an energetic, strategic and creative person to enable the church in this vibrant North East community to grow even younger and more outward in mission, to recognise and celebrate where God is already at work, and to work with the Spirit in order to grow faith and build community in new ways.

This new full-time post has been created in order to resource a parish in mission at a critical moment in its history. As the new City Council funded Youth and Community hub opens, and gets established, there is a unique opportunity for the church to partner in this development, building on the innovative mission and ministry in Byker over the last twenty years. There is a brand-new Youth space and the church building has been completely re-developed with sustainability and flexibility at the heart of a beautiful new design.

Collaborative working with clergy and lay leaders across the five Byker and Walker parishes has been the norm for many years as part of MINE: Mission Initiative Newcastle East, and along with the Lighthouse project and initiatives such as MINE Youth and the partnership with Eden in Byker. This post will be supported more widely by the diocesan Mission and Ministry Team and the Organising for Growth programme from The Centre for Theology and Community.
