Director of Mission and Evangelism

Would you prayerfully consider joining my leadership team during this crucial time for Church Army?
If you share my passion to make Jesus known to those in greatest need in the UK, a passion rooted in
the belief that Jesus desires to turn His Church inside out through equipping all types of evangelists,
especially those from more challenged backgrounds, I’d love to hear from you.

Overview of Role:

The successful candidate will come to serve alongside me and our other leaders. They will bring significant knowledge and understanding of the Anglican church, the challenges and opportunities it faces in evangelism to those on the margins, and a creative empowering approach to answering those challenges. As Church Army continues its journey of significant strategic reshaping, you would play a vital role in shaping the vision and strategy and then leading the work of Church Army for the next season of ministry. As Church Army reorientates itself towards a much stronger focus on training and equipping for evangelism on the margins, the new Director will be able to demonstrate both understanding and experience in this area. You will also be able to demonstrate an ability to engage in the wider work of the Anglican church, as we seek to work in closer partnership on numbers of projects.
