Assistant Pastor

Peverell Community Church is looking for an Assistant or Associate Pastor. This is a full-time position and we are open to how the Lord leads on the right way forward, for the successful applicant and the Church. 

We are seeking the Lord for someone to work alongside and assist the current long serving Pastor who is 70. There is a need for succession planning that currently cannot be met from within the current membership.

It is important we, and they, believe that they are called to this work.

We were established as a Church in 1981 and have a rich history of serving the Lord in Peverell. We have reached the position where we are a mainly older membership, but believing God wants to give us as a future and a hope as a church. Therefore, we are looking for someone to assist in developing and growing a church that is attractive to all age ranges, and families. 

With a small membership we are lacking the capacity to fully undertake the work and vision for the future. However, we have a spiritually mature, committed, and willing membership, who fully engage in current Church activities.
