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 at the heart of Gosport to establish, nurture and grow a new Christian community for Leesland.
An opportunity to develop fresh expressions of worship, ministry and mission in keeping with the needs of the unchurched community and to nurture and equip others to explore and develop their own pioneering ministries as members of congregations across Gosport Deanery.
Our lay or ordained Leesland Pioneer Minister will have:
- a lively faith and a personal confidence in the love of God;
- a passion for working in non-traditional ways;
- experience of having pioneered a Christian community among unchurched people;
- imagination for programmes of mission centred on people;
- an innovative creativity.
