Assistant Preacher – St Matthew’s Cambridge

Organisation

The role is preaching expository sermons once or twice a month and pastoral, evangelistic and relational 1-1 ministry, especially with newcomers. Small group work could be with young adults, ARU students, internationals or preschool families, depending on your experience & gifts.

St Matthew’s Cambridge is a warm church family of about 200 with a good spread of ages and stages. We’re led by a conservative evangelical team under the oversight of a complementarian Bishop. Our vicar, Frank Price, led a “church graft” here from St Andrew the Great and our associate vicar is now leading a similar project to Peterborough. We have a children/women’s worker, a youth worker and an administrator. See website & livestream: www.stmatthews.uk.

We’re seeking:

• a whole-hearted follower of Jesus;
• about 2-6 years’ experience of church ministry;
• evidence of faithful, engaging, expository Bible preaching;
• gifted at making connections and building friendships with new people quickly;
• available to start 1^stSep 2026 and likely to stay for at least 2 years, God willing;
• sharing our commitment to safeguarding the welfare of young or vulnerable people;
• good references and background checks, eligible to work in the UK.

We’re offering:

• pay matching unqualified teachers (£25k-£35k, depending on experience/training);
• pension, house-moving and training costs;
• 3 bed house next to the church building (not suitable for a large family);
• staff team with daily and weekly meetings for support and training.
