Background
The Diocese of Lichfield has received funding from the Church of England with the aim of revitalising the Christian presence in Stoke on Trent, largely among younger communities across the city. Stoke is a wonderful city, full of wonderful, warm people with a proud craft and industrial heritage. Church attendance in Stoke is amongst the lowest in the country and the church exists to counter this trend by being intentionally missional towards students/young adults, and young families. There will be two strands of work, both based out of repurposed and refurbished spaces within All Saints, Hanley church and the adjoining church hall. The first strand is the reopening of All Saints as a City-wide Resource Church. The other strand is the Encounter Project which aims to create 9 new worshipping communities through church and school partnerships. This role will be part of the resource church strand. Lichfield Diocese Board of Finance is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All postholders are expected to share this commitment.
Job Purpose
The Worship and Creative Lead exists for two central purposes: firstly, to make All Saints a place with worship at its centre, where people are invited and equipped to encounter the goodness and glory of God in corporate gatherings and in their own lives. Secondly to equip the church to be able to communicate effectively with its various stakeholders both internally and externally.
