Do you want to help UK Churches engage with God’s mission throughout the world? Can you help BMS World Mission continue to make Jesus known and improve the quality of life for thousands of people? If you want to connect and enthuse churches with Jesus’ global mission then we want to hear from you!

At BMS we are passionate about mission and working for a world where all can experience faith in Christ and the abundant life only he provides. We want to inspire UK Baptist Churches about their role in global mission and their partnership in bringing about transformation through BMS World Mission.

This role works with the Church Engagement Manager to create multiple points of connection for UK Churches and church-based volunteers to engage with BMS and with our story of mission. It will create and maintain relationships with churches and key Baptist leaders to help ensure they recognise BMS as an organisation which can take them deeper in their understanding of mission and global transformation.

For this role, knowledge of BMS’ supporter base, experience of the evangelical aspects of BMS’ mission and full support of its missionary work are crucial.

We are seeking an individual with the following experience and skills:

  • Communication and interpersonal skills: You will be a confident speaker with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, enabling you to build meaningful relationships between BMS and leaders across BMS-supporting churches.

  • Christian ministry: You have significant insight into the Christian ministry and experience working with churches including Baptist Churches.

  • Passion: You have a global vision, a heart for mission, and a passion for the role of the UK church in a growing world church.

  • Strategic planning: You are a strategic thinker capable of developing and implementing a plan for our approach to Church engagement and volunteer development.

  • Safeguarding knowledge: You have proven knowledge of up-to-date safeguarding processes and their application.

This is a varied and rewarding role, perfect for someone with a dedication to making a positive difference in the Christian community.

The successful applicant will be a committed Christian. The nature of this role means that this is a specific occupational requirement.
