Assistant Pastor – Sawtry Church (Sawtry)
Please download the PDF job description here.
We are looking for an able and reliable man to take on the role of Assistant Pastor, to serve Sawtry Church.
Church Profile
Kingfisher Church – History
Kingfisher Church meets in the village of Little Paxton, just North of St. Neots, located between Bedford and Cambridge. Little Paxton has a population of approximately 4000, and in many ways feels like a suburb to the town of St. Neots; it was planted by St. Neots Evangelical Church in 2013.
Kingfisher Church was planted with a vision for planting; and has been prayerfully exploring opportunities to plant churches North of Little Paxton in areas where there is a lack of local gospel churches.
Kingfisher Church – Today
The church is affiliated to the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. It is conservative evangelical in belief and contemporary and informal in style. The church meets in the local primary school. There are 73 members and about 70-80 attending on a Sunday morning. Just under 50% of these members live in Little Paxton, the remainder travel from further afield.
The church is led by four elders, two of these are full-time staff elders (lead & trainee pastors). We also have a part-time administrator. The church’s How we do Church together contains the Statement of Faith, Members’ Covenant, and a description of how we have agreed to be a church together.
Kingfisher Church – Future
The church is about to begin holding Sunday services in Sawtry. It is hoped that this will become a fully independent church, working in active partnership with Kingfisher Church. Sawtry is a large village with a growing population of approximately 6000. The congregation will begin monthly meetings in January 2026 with around 12 adults; with the plan to meet weekly from Easter 2026.
Job Description
The Assistant Pastor will be a full-time member of the church staff and an elder of the church.

Responsibilities
The Assistant Pastor will be appointed to work at Sawtry Church under the lead pastor at Kingfisher Church and serve as an elder of the churches.

The elders’ shared responsibility is:
- Setting an example in godly living, both personally and in family life,
- Ensuring the church is faithfully taught in the Bible, through public teaching, small groups, and personal mentoring, and to guard against false teaching – the elders will use the 1689 Baptist Confession as a teaching standard for the church,
- Praying regularly for the whole church family,
- Equipping the whole church for works of service,
- To lead in the church with humility, exercising their authority according to the Scripture and Christian love, and so are ultimately responsible for organising all the church’s activity.
Supervision and Development
