Description of Job
‘Knowing Jesus and making Him known in our parish and beyond’.
We are an Anglican church with a strong Charismatic and Evangelical emphasis. Prayer and the study and application of the Word are core to our mission; we are Bible and Cross centred in our orthodox teaching, welcoming the gifts of the Spirit, and encouraging ‘every member ministering’.
Are you the person we are praying for to lead us on the next stage of our mission journey?
We are seeking someone who:
* Is a visionary, personable leader whose DNA is prayer, an orthodox understanding and application of the Word of God
* Has a passion for ‘visible’ outreach, flexibility in approach, good communication and inter-personal skills underpinned with a pastoral heart
* Will help us develop the links with our community, schools and ‘fringe’ families to grow our family of believers
* Can build sensitively on what the Lord has been doing and find out where He is at work.
We offer:
* A large staff team - Associate Minister, Youth & Children’s Leader, Parish Administrator and Deacon
* Two church buildings, a ‘traditional’ church and one with a more flexible worship space
* A wide range of Children’s and Youth groups
* A network of Small Groups, providing ‘front line’ pastoral care
* Activities for the older members of our community.

All Saints and St Andrew’s Huntington
Our parish is situated 1.5 miles to the north of York’s city centre. We provide a busy programme of Sunday services and a variety of groups, covering all ages, to support our community. Our parish has a large, and increasing, population of over 13,000, with a varied demographic. There are two secondary and three primary schools, several care homes, local shops and a large shopping centre. So, there is ample opportunity for serving others and sharing the gospel.
The Diocese of York, led and guided by Archbishop Stephen Cottrell, takes in much of North and East Yorkshire. As the largest diocese in England, geographically, the area is very diverse, featuring a multitude of needs and opportunities. Together, we are striving to be a people who are ‘Living Christ’s Story’. We want to be a simpler, bolder, humbler church which in its diversity reflects the communities it serves. We are bringing renewed focus and fresh energy to achieving our aims:
* Becoming more like Christ
* Reaching those we currently don't
* Growing in discipleship, influence and numbers
