Young & Emerging Adults Lead

Christchurch Baptist Church is a thriving church in the centre of the historic coastal town of Christchurch. In March 2026, we moved into our brand new home for mission and ministry. After many years of sustained numerical growth, we're looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual as our Young & Emerging Adults Lead.

The Young & Emerging Adults Lead plays a key role in leading, discipling, and reaching out to young and emerging adults (15–29s) within the church community and beyond, helping them grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, discover their calling, and become active participants in the life and mission of the church. The role focuses on creating a welcoming, Christ-centred culture for young and emerging adults, with a particular emphasis on discipleship, belonging, leadership development, and mission.

Key to the role is embracing our vision and values. The post-holder will hold a significant role in our existing staff team.
