Description

If you desire to see children & young people meet Jesus and grow in their relationship with Him, then you might be the perfect person to join our team while you undertake your training with SWYM.

Our youth & children's ministries are all about creating a movement of disciple making disciples in Corsham and around the world. We seek to do this by introducing children & young people to Jesus, building them up in Jesus & sending them out for Jesus.

We would love to take on a trainee to help develop our ministry to young people and/or children, working alongside the youth pastor Dan & children's worker Rhiannon.

The role itself can be tailored to the needs, gifting and heart of the trainee. The role would provide a breadth of opportunity to work in a number of ministry settings – schools, community & church.

We can also adapt the role with a focus on youth or children's ministry.

We are a Baptist church in a small town in Wiltshire, about 15 minutes from the city of Bath.
