Assistant Preacher
St Matthew's Church Cambridge
The role is preaching expository sermons once or twice a month and pastoral, evangelistic and relational 1-1 ministry, especially with newcomers. Small group work could be with young adults, ARU students, internationals or preschool families, depending on your experience & gifts.
St Matthew’s is a warm church family of about 200 with a good spread of ages and stages. We’re led by a conservative evangelical team under the oversight of a complementarian Bishop. Our vicar, Frank Price, led a “church graft” here from St Andrew the Great and our associate vicar is now leading a similar project to Peterborough. We have a children/women’s worker, a youth worker and an administrator. See website & livestream: www.stmatthews.uk.
We’re seeking:
- a whole-hearted follower of Jesus;
- about 2-6 years’ experience of church ministry;
- evidence of faithful, engaging, expository Bible preaching;
- gifted at making connections and building friendships with new people quickly;
- available to start 1st September 2026 and likely to stay for at least two years, God willing;
- sharing our commitment to safeguarding the welfare of young or vulnerable people;
- good references and background checks, eligible to work in the UK.
We’re offering:
- pay matching unqualified teachers (£25k-£35k, depending on experience/training);
- pension, house-moving and training costs;
- 3 bed house next to the church building (not suitable for a large family);
- staff team with daily and weekly meetings for support and training.
