We are currently looking for a passionate, creative and visionary youth worker to coordinate and develop our youth work. This is initially a part-time post. 16 hours a week for at least the next two years.

Main Purpose of Post

Our strap line is Loving God, Loving Others, and our church has the following three core values.

1. God-centred, Jesus-focused, Spirit-filled

These core values describe our passion for God and for seeing our lives, and the lives of people in our community, transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The post holder will become an integral part of Bishopbriggs Community Church, and work with our leadership team to develop and embody these values with young people in our church and local community.
