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. We are committed to expository preaching, meaningful membership, disciple-making, and sending workers into gospel ministry in Scotland and beyond. 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
