Serve on a team
One of the mottos of our church family is ‘by everyone, for everyone’.
All the activities we undertake as a church are made possible because of volunteers who are willing to serve on mission and ministry teams. There are a wide variety of different ways to get involved with serving on a team, and we’re always open to new ideas.

Some of our current teams are as follow:

Work With Us
Our approach to mission can be summarised by four activity headings: Worship God | Make Disciples | Share Jesus | Transform Hoxton.
We aim to ensure that all of our activities and resources are aligned with enabling these core priorities. We recognise that the work required to make the vision a reality will be hard and costly – and we seek to recruit people to our team who thrive in exciting and challenging environments where mission and ministry can be reimagined and developed in innovative ways.
We are developing a professional while also relational working environment. We expect ministry leaders – whether paid staff or volunteers – to lead others by example. We are a developing and growing church, and we foster an entrepreneurial approach to ministry. Although we plan our work carefully, we also experiment and evaluate. We care about measuring outcomes and fruitfulness, but we’re more concerned with ensuring that our inputs are carefully considered and applied. We commend effort more than attainment.
Any current employment opportunities will be listed below.
All appointments are subject to Safer Recruitment procedures.

Vocation
a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation. late Middle English: from Old French, or from Latin vocatio(n- ), from vocare ‘to call’.
All those who are baptised in the name Jesus have a fundamental vocation to be children of God and followers of Jesus. Indeed, this is a simple definition of discipleship: becoming children of God and followers of Jesus Christ. But in addition, we also have vocations - or callings - in life concerning relationships, family, work and purpose.
The Church of England encourages all Christians to explore their vocation in life, but in particular, helps its members explore their vocation in the mission and ministry of the church. This could include being called to an Ordained ministry, such as Deacon or Priest, but also encompasses a calling to Licensed Lay Ministry, Commissioned Pastoral Assistants, Children’s Ministers and many more.
To explore whether God is calling you to serve in an recognised and authorised role in the church, we undertake a process of discernment - meeting with an advisor for conversation, reflection and prayer. If you’d like to find out more about this process, please contact one of the Clergy.
