Jobs in Drumchapel & Anniesland, Glasgow

Could you be part of something different? We have a rewarding opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to use their gifts, skills and experience to make a difference to the lives of individuals and communities in Knightswood Anniesland Trinity Church.

We are looking for an Associate Minister or Deacon to support the work of the interim minister to help develop relationships and fellowship in the congregation by taking an agreed share of worship, pastoral and funeral care, and have responsibility for guiding the work of a number of the newly formed kirk session teams, in particular a pastoral care team, mission and outreach team.

The hope is the congregation will move into a season of more settled, refreshed and missional ministry in their very large parish, ensuring a flourishing viable congregation moving forward with the postholder providing a greater level of continuity after the period of interim ministry ends.
