Fixed-term contract for 18 months
The Mission Community Engagement Enabler is a role at the Diocese, performing local community outreach in the Parish of Christ Church St Andrews Herne Bay and leading weekly events for the Ignite Project to present the Gospel in an engaging and interactive manner.
You will maintain and develop relationships with community groups and within the parish, raising the church's profile locally.
Reporting to the Incumbent of Christ Church St Andrews and the Ignite Project Lead, you will build trust with Ignite attendees, offering them opportunities to follow Christ and help establish a new worship community.
You will train Christian volunteers to run the Ignite Project sustainably, attending weekly planning sessions and other events locally or within the Diocese.
Applicants should have a good education, a personal understanding of the Christian faith, and pastoral skills to support and empower members of parish mission projects.
You should communicate effectively with diverse backgrounds and be able to reflect theologically to communicate the Gospel creatively and interactively.
Ignite is a Fresh Expressions of church, comprising 8 plants across the Diocese and Guernsey, focusing on community outreach and weekly events that present the Gospel in a friendly, interactive way, reaching those not engaged with traditional church.
The format of Ignite evenings is friendship-based evangelism, similar to a Christian version of BBC’s ‘The One Show’, with discussions, activities, multimedia clips, short talks, and prayer opportunities, helping people explore their relationship with God through Jesus. In Herne Bay, there are two Ignite groups: one for families and one for adults.
