Youth Ministry Applications 2012-2013 — Tim Read · Following the Stories of Real People

After evaluating the last year of events and activities, the applications for Full time and Part time roles within the 2012-2013 Youth Ministry Committee are now available. There will be a structural change for the committee, having a full time Chairperson, part time Secretary, Events Organizer and Treasurer. Details about each role are contained in the following job descriptions. The application deadline is the 21st of October and the final decision of the roles will be made by the 26th of October, to be announced at the following HARP and CARP services.

The vision for this year will be to create a core committee of the four paid roles, who can then be supported by volunteers to help with the different events and workshops. The committee’s responsibilities in supporting and educating the Youth of our movement is a responsibility shared by everyone, and thus volunteers who are able and willing will be invited to give their input on Youth Ministry activities. For the first part of the academic year leading up to Christmas and the Winter workshops, the current committee will continue supporting the new committee to help with a smooth transition into their roles.

We see these roles primarily as an internal mission and we hope to have a dedicated and God centered team who can support each other and the UK youth. The applications will be reviewed by the current committee and the National Leader Jack Corley and qualified applicants will be followed up with an informal interview.

To apply please read the document containing the full details and expectations and fill out the following form.

Yours sincerely,

Youth Ministry
