Minister in Training – St Joseph’s Benwell (Newcastle upon Tyne)

St Joseph’s is a growing evangelical Anglican church in the West End of Newcastle upon Tyne. Planted from Jesmond Parish Church almost ten years ago, we are part of the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE). By God’s grace, our church family now includes over 300 people on a Sunday and a staff team of nine. As we prepare to send out our current Minister-in-Training to plant a new church in Northumberland, we are excited to see who the Lord will raise up to help take the work on.

We are seeking a godly man who meets the biblical criteria for an elder-pastor (1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-11) and who will share in our mission in “Loving God, Loving Our Neighbour, and Making Disciples.”

This role offers a significant opportunity to grow in ministry within a supportive, prayerful and mission-minded church family. Key responsibilities will include:

• Regular preaching and service leading
• Leading and developing our small group ministry
• Working alongside the pastoral staff team to coordinate newcomers welcome, integration, and pastoral care

Previous ministry experience is helpful, but not essential. We will arrange training tailored to the successful candidate’s experience and needs, providing a strong foundation for long-term ministry.

Stipend: From £30,000 (depending on experience) + housing allowance

Term: Full-time for 3-5 years initially, starting Summer 2026

Closing date for applications: Friday 20th February

Interviews: Week commencing Sunday 1st March
