We are seeking an outstanding Worship and Creative Ministries Pastor who can help grow both the quality and capacity of worship across the parish by leading worship personally, raising up others, and building teams and systems that enable flourishing worship in multiple settings.
We are committed both to faithfully stewarding and strengthening our existing worshipping life, and to developing new expressions of worship as part of our mission. This is a strategic appointment for the next season of parish life.

Purpose of the Role
To strengthen and deepen the worshipping life of the Parish of Andover, supporting and enriching existing worship across our congregations, while also prayerfully developing new expressions where appropriate.

The postholder will also help awaken, nurture and release the creative gifts already present within the parish, including music, visual arts, media, design, storytelling and other expressions of creativity, so that these may serve worship, mission and community life.
They will oversee the development and coordination of audio visual, livestream and lighting environments, particularly at St Mary’s while serving wider parish needs, helping create spaces that are prayerful, welcoming and excellent.

They will help develop and coordinate audio visual, livestream and lighting environments, particularly at St Mary’s, working with existing volunteers and staff. Technical expertise is welcome but not essential; the ability to lead people, build teams and grow systems is more important.
