Hope Church Vauxhall is looking for a godly man to join our team as we prepare to plant a new church on a neighbouring council estate in the heart of London.

This is a full-time role. Initially, you’ll serve as part of the pastoral team at Hope Church—preaching, providing pastoral care, and engaging in evangelism. Over time, the role will transition into leading a new church plant, launching around 2026 with the ongoing support of the Hope Church team.

We’re praying for someone with a deep love for Jesus, a passion for estate ministry, and proven pastoral and evangelistic gifting. If you long to see lives transformed by the gospel in urban London, this could be a great fit.

What We’re Looking For

• Biblically qualified elder (1 Tim 3, Titus 1)

• Passionate about evangelism, discipleship, and church planting

• Experience in preaching and pastoral ministry

• Theological training or equivalent ministry experience

• Team player with strong interpersonal skills

• Experience in estate or cross-cultural ministry (desirable)

What We Offer:

• Mentoring and support from our pastor and elders

• Ongoing training and development opportunities

• Shared vision and collaboration with the Co-Mission and FIEC networks

• Accommodation cost support

Occupational Requirements:

In line with Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, it is an occupational requirement for the post-holder to: 

• Be an evangelical Christian, committed to the church’s beliefs, ethos, and doctrinal distinctives. 

• Be male, in accordance with the church’s theological convictions on male eldership and pastoral leadership. 

• Live locally and be a member of the church at which they are placed. 

This role involves work with children and/or vulnerable adults. Hope Church Vauxhall is committed to safeguarding, and all applicants will be subject to appropriate vetting and disclosure checks. 

This is a unique opportunity to plant a gospel-centred church in a diverse area of London. Join us as we proclaim Christ and seek to reach our city for Him!
