Youth Ministers (Full and Part-Time)

Join our Youth Ministry Team!

The Woodlands Church Family (WCF) is a vibrant, growing family of churches with eight sites located across the city of Bristol. Our vision is to transform Bristol through the love and power of God as we create spirit-filled, visible communities of faith in neighbourhoods across the city.

Each congregation is distinct in their style, but we all share the same vision, mission and values to be communities which are welcoming of everyone, authentic in our faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit and expectant of all that God will do in us and through us.

Central to our plans to reach this city for Jesus are young people! In Bristol, there are 90,000 young people who don’t have regular contact with church or faith. We would love to see this change!

At both our Woodlands Central and Highgrove Church congregations, we have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our team as a Youth Minister reporting to the Senior Youth Director and Congregational Leaders.
