Bilingual Worship Leader (Spanish and English speaking)
The Diocese of Southwark, London, England, United Kingdom
Hours: Part Time (3 days/21 hours per week)
Description of Job:
This is an exciting opportunity for a Worship Leader to play a key role in helping two churches, Christ Church, Brixton Road and St Matthews, Elephant and Castle, to grow and thrive. Our vision is to shape the liturgical worship with the same passion that we live our call to mission.
We are looking for someone to lead, from a catholic perspective, the music in our contemporary sacramental services. We want both English and Spanish congregations to thrive and grow, enjoying our services as encounters with God through sacrament, Word, beauty, and social commitment. We value the traditional settings other churches have with their beautiful choral traditions, but we are looking for new ways to express our worship and faith. We are convinced that good worship music will help congregations to inhabit the liturgy more and will lead to growth.
If you feel called to be part of this journey and have the necessary enthusiasm, skills, and experience, then we would be delighted to hear from you. Please send your CV and a covering letter to rector@stmatt.co.uk describing why you are interested in this role together with the gifts and skills you can bring to this role.
Christ Church Brixton Road, working in partnership with St Matthew’s, Elephant and Castle, has been identified as one of the places in the Diocese of Southwark where there is a clear opportunity for growth. As the result of a successful bid by the Diocese of Southwark, we have obtained the funding for this post from the Church of England’s Strategic Development Fund.
We want to appoint a Bilingual Worship Leader to join the leadership team at the start of a new season and ensure we realize our vision enhancement of worship at Christ Church Brixton Road and St Matthew’s.
Our Vision includes:
- Growing churches, new worshipping communities, and new Christians
- Deepening discipleship: engaged, prayerful, and informed Christians
- Growth in vocations to existing and new ministries
- Generous giving and prayer supporting all we do
- Justice and peace built up, and violence challenged, in our local and global community
- A shared commitment to the integrity of Creation
- A Church for all which reflects our diverse community in membership and leadership, including growth in United Kingdom minority ethnic (UKME) vocations and appointments
Our Vision is founded on mutual commitment from all who make up the Diocesan family to walk together in the pilgrimage of faith, supporting, encouraging, and resourcing each other in our common task.
