Worship Pastor
Dear Candidate,
Christ Church Peckham is looking for a Worship Pastor who is hungry to see revival to join our growing team. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to play a foundational role in a church that is experiencing a remarkable season of growth and renewal in the heart of South London.
A Church on the Move
Since our Vicar, Fernando Carrillo, was installed in June 2024, Christ Church Peckham has grown from around 30 adults to over 150, with 54 people baptised. New ministries have launched across the board — from an evening service to student outreach and prison ministry to Alpha courses and connect groups. We have hosted a week of 24/7 prayer and worship, and we believe this is only the beginning.
The Role
As Worship Pastor, you will be at the heart of our vision to build a house of 24/7 prayer and worship. This is both a spiritual and strategic leadership role. You will lead worship across services, build and develop a team of musicians and vocalists, and help create an environment where people encounter God in a real and transformative way.
You will shape the worship culture of a rapidly growing church, working closely with the Vicar and Pastoral Lead to ensure that everything we do is grounded in our values of Humility, Heart, Honour, Hosting, and Holiness.
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking someone who is proficient on a primary instrument (guitar or piano) and a gifted singer, with proven experience leading both planned and spontaneous worship. You will be a strong leader with a pastoral heart — someone who can build, equip, and inspire a team while nurturing their spiritual growth.
Key Details
Contract: Full-time, fixed term until December 2030
Salary: £32,000 per annum
Hours: 35 hours per week (Tuesday–Friday, some Saturdays and Sunday)
Location: Christ Church Peckham, 676–680 Old Kent Road, London SE15 1JF
Pension: Non-contributory (15% employer contribution)
How to Apply
If this role excites you and you sense God may be calling you to be part of what He is doing in Peckham, we would love to hear from you. For an informal conversation about the role, please contact us at hello@christchurchpeckham.org. Applications should be submitted following the details in the application pack, through our Pathways recruitment portal. Early applications are encouraged, and we reserve the right to withdraw this opportunity early should we find the right candidate.
The best is yet to come,
