Ministry Assistant (Children and Families Minister)

Trinity Community Church LEP, Accrington, BB5 2NX

From an advert telling us to drink milk or you might end up playing for Accrington Stanley, the non-league, forgotten football club at the time! Even now, Accrington town can feel like the forgotten town.

Do you have a heart for somewhere like this? For somewhere with a rich history, but now feels forgotten? Do you want to see people, children, and families, hear of that name Jesus, and know the new life He gives?

Trinity Community Church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) of Anglican and Baptist churches. It was established in 2008 and continues to grow and thrive today. Our hope and prayer has been to see children and families come to know Jesus as their Saviour and King. That is what we have seen happen over the last couple of years and want to see more of. Having spent 2025 reflecting and discerning our mission and ministry for the next 6 years, we believe one of those priorities is to employ a Ministry Assistant who oversees our children and families ministry.
