Recruitment Pack

Children’s Worker (2/3 FTE) &

Families / Adults Worker (1/3 FTE)

St Andrew the Great is seeking to appoint a Children’s Worker to oversee ministry amongst
0-11s. This is an opportunity for a Bible-loving and well-organised Christian man or woman to
work  prayerfully  with  a  range  of  leaders  to  support  evangelism  and  discipleship  amongst
children, in partnership with parents.

At the same time, we are also seeking to appoint a Families / Adults Worker to participate in
ministry amongst ‘city’ adults (this covers parents and other adults who are not part of HUB
/  iHUB  /  Focus  ministries).  This  is  an  opportunity  for  a  Bible-loving  and  well-organised
Christian man or woman to work prayerfully with a range of leaders to support evangelism
and discipleship amongst adults.

Applications may be made to either one of these posts, or both together.

About us

St  Andrew  the  Great  (StAG)  has  a  diverse  congregation  which  reflects  our  location  in
Cambridge city centre. We mainly comprise four groups of people: undergraduates, 20-30s,
internationals, and ‘city’ members (adults who are not part of the other groups, plus under-
18s). That said, our motto for all we do is the same:

The gospel to Cambridge; gospel workers to the world.

As a church, we depend upon God in prayer and put teaching the Bible at the heart of all we
do as we believe it equips us with all we need in living for His glory. In the past 25 years, there
have been three church “grafts” to other local parishes and, most recently, a church plant to
Huntingdon in 2018. We are a member of ReNew, and the PCC has passed a resolution in line
with the House of Bishops’ declaration and receives additional oversight from the Bishop of
Ebbsfleet.

About the Children’s Worker role

The vision for our children’s work is that children would grow in a real and personal faith in
the Lord Jesus; we do this by supporting parents in their ministry to their children as the
primary Bible teachers and through faithful, engaging Bible teaching to the children in an
age-appropriate way on Sundays when the church family gathers.

StAG has over 140 under 11s in the church family, and we’ll typically see 90-100 at one of
our six children’s groups & three creches over our two Sunday morning services.

The role holder will work under the immediate oversight of the Associate Vicar and will have
administrative oversight of all the 0-11s children’s ministry as well as responsibility for all
the Bible teaching that happens within it.

There are three areas of focus: Bible teaching and evangelism, caring for and training
leaders, and partnering with parents.

•  Planning the teaching for children’s groups and writing session briefs.

•  Depending on experience and aptitude, planning the teaching for the children's talk

slots in our Sunday morning services and coaching speakers before and after
delivery.

•  Depending on experience and aptitude, contributing to all age services, which might

include occasional preaching.

•  Speaking at events for local schools, such as Christian Unions and events in the

church building.

2.  Overseeing leaders

•  Recruiting, training and supporting leaders in teaching the Bible to children.
•  Maintaining excellent standards in safeguarding.
•  Running and coordinating training sessions for leaders, including at the monthly

prayer meeting for children’s leaders.

•  Setting an example of teaching and engaging with children.

for Sunday groups and other possible one-off events (e.g. Day Away).

•  Connecting with the wider youth and children’s ministry scene in Cambridge, East

Anglia, and the Southeast of England, to give and receive support in youth ministry.

3.  Partnering with parents

•  Partnering with families to understand how the StAG children’s ministry can best
support them including meeting with the parents’ advisory group once a term.
•  Maintaining and developing opportunities to envision and equip families in their

family discipleship (e.g. Families Together Lunch, termly training, joint leaders and
parents prayer meetings)
