Length of post (years): 1-2
About the church:
We are a conservative evangelical anglican church commited to following Jesus. Over
the last few years God has blessed us with many new opportunities and facilities
that have enabled us to pioneer fresh expressions of church such as a monthly
cafe church, weekly afternoon family service and toddler praise in addition
to our regular ministry. We are chaplains to the Eastbourne campus of Brighton
University and Moira House School. Increasingly we are being used as a resourcing
church, playing a significant role in events in the town such as Explore, UNITED
and Youthquake.
About the area:
Eastbourne is a vibrant town of about 90.000 people on the south coast (sunshine
coast). It is easily accessible from Brighton (half an hour on the train) and
London (1 hour on the train). All Saints' Church is located in the picturesque
Meads area at the foot of the South Downs. Eastbourne plays host to Airbourne,
the lady's tennis championship and the extreme sports weekend.
About the role:
The role is very varied and can be moulded to the gifts and abilities of the
person. It could include youth and children's work, work with the elderly, outreach
events to people in the town, work with the homeless, music, schools work, technical
work, bibles studies and many more things.
Core responsibilities:
Will depend on the gifts and strengths of the applicants.
Training offered:
You will go on the Sussex Coast Ministry Training Course (SCMTC) which is associated
with the Cornhill Training Course. You will also have the option of going on
the bible centred youth workers conference or the 9:38 conference. You will
also be part of a home group and given a mentor.
Qualities of candidate:
The applicants should have a living relationship with Jesus Christ. They should
be willing to serve and learn, working with a large team as we seek to follow
Christ in this community.

month pocket money.
