Are you passionate about helping children and families grow in faith? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for a creative, prayerful leader to shape and grow our children and families ministry. You'll work with an amazing team, build strong relationships, and bring fresh vision to this important area of work in our church and community.
All Saints is a large and vibrant Anglican church, blessed with many resources and a deep sense of responsibility to serve our community and seek God’s blessing in people’s lives. If you share our heart for seeing lives transformed by Jesus and have a particular passion for children’s ministry, this could be the role for you.
You’ll be joining a gifted and supportive team of clergy and lay leaders. The Children and Families Minister works closely with our Youth Minister, and while each of us has our own calling, we believe in working together as a team to achieve a greater impact for Christ in the church and beyond. Recent joint efforts have included successful holiday clubs and
outreach events like the “Christmas Experience.” We’ve seen new families join our church family—and we’re eager to welcome more.
Your Role in Our Community
All Saints Eccesall - Children and Families Minister
The Children and Families Minister will shape and lead our ministry with children aged 0 - 11 through church-based activities, school partnerships, and wider community engagement. They will work collaboratively with volunteers and clergy, drawing on their gifts to develop areas of ministry in line with the church’s overall vision.
We are looking for someone who can lead confidently, listen to God’s guidance and respond flexibly to the opportunities that emerge—whether through tried and tested approaches or new initiatives.
We are seeking someone to shape and grow the church’s ministry with children and their families as part of our wider calling to welcome all generations into a flourishing relationship with God.
Rather than maintaining existing programmes, we are looking for a minister who will bring prayerful discernment, fresh vision, and creativity —responding to the needs of the community. This role allows space for innovation and leadership development, while ensuring the core elements of Sunday and midweek children’s ministry are strengthened.
Key priorities:
Facilitating and overseeing ministry for children (0–11) on Sundays, especially at the 11am service, helping to ensure it is spiritually enriching, joyful, and well-integrated into the worshipping life of the church.
Developing All Age Worship, and helping to foster a culture where children and families are valued participants in the life of the wider church—not just as attendees but as contributors and disciples.
Building relationships with families, walking alongside them pastorally, and helping parents/carers to nurture faith at home.
Inspiring and equipping volunteers, enabling a shared ministry model in which leaders are well-supported and encouraged to grow in confidence and faith.
Collaborating with the wider staff team, especially the Youth Minister, to ensure a joined up approach to family ministry that spans all age groups.
Strengthening links with local schools—creating meaningful opportunities for children to explore faith in engaging, age-appropriate ways, while building positive relationships with staff and the wider school community.
