Under its Live: Pray: Serve strategy, the Diocese of Portsmouth is developing pioneering ministry, focusing on hard-to-reach areas, new housing developments, and on working with young people. As part of a £1.6 million investment, we have created three new full-time stipendiary pioneering posts, with diocesan support for the development and evaluation of new ministry.
A pioneer who will create and establish a fresh expression of Christian community for the unchurched within the PO9 (North Havant) area.
An opportunity to nurture communities where people can belong, learn, and contribute to each other’s growth in faith and to express the Good News of Jesus through both actions and words, allowing people to address life issues, to explore spirituality and to build Christian community.
Our lay or ordained PO9 Pioneer Minister will have:
- an ability to speak from personal experience about the enrichment that Christian faith brings to everyday life;
- experience and commitment to working in nontraditional ways that are appropriate to pioneering a Christian community among unchurched people;
- a spirituality that is not imprisoned by tradition.
