1 Worship Leader (part-time) Church Profile, Job Description and Person Specification

2 Thank you for your interest in the post of Worship Leader with us at St Thomas with St Stephen. We are looking for a commi;ed evangelical Chris>an who is passionate and experienced in leading worship, leading teams and releasing and developing others in their own worship and worship leading. We are a church that loves to worship and place a high value on corporate worship. We have many giaed musicians, singers and worship leaders and many more who are keen to get involved. There is a growing desire amongst our musicians, singers and congrega>on to develop and deepen our worship and also to try new things. This is a new post at an exci>ng >me in the life of the church. Our Sunday services are currently undergoing some significant changes. The Worship Leader will be able to take a significant leadership role in developing this area of our church s life by developing our worship in the new joint morning service, in the growing evening service and amongst our children and young people. I have been vicar of St Thomas with St Stephen since June 2014 and am excited by what God is doing here. If you d like to chat informally about the post please do not hesitate to contact me through the church office, Revd Mar>n Gordon CHURCH PROFILE Our vision is to build the local church and transform the local community through worshipping God, growing in faith and reaching out to those outside the church. The parish serves Clapham Park, Streatham and Balham, with around 5,000 houses and a popula>on of 14,000. We are in an urban area of southwest London where there is a significant contrast of affluence and depriva>on. We are one parish with two church buildings, 8 minutes walk apart. St Stephen s was built in 1974 to replace the old Victorian church and is a singlestorey combined church and community centre. St Thomas is a large Victorian church that is currently undergoing redevelopment. Once completed in July 2015, there will be an upper and lower hall, a chapel, a kitchen, a community garden and new audiovisual equipment. This will provide more facili>es for the local community and more space for children and youth work.

3 Our worship services In all of our services we place a high value on prac>cal Biblical preaching, par>cipa>on of all ages and joyful worship. Currently we have a more tradi>onal Sunday morning 9.30am service at St Thomas with organ or piano and a more contemporary 11am service at St Stephen s with a band. We have around 100 adults and 40 children and young people at these services drawn from across the parish and a few from further afield. From September we will have one main Sunday morning service at 10.30am at St Thomas. The norm will be for worship to be bandled but we also have an occasional choir and a couple of organists. The band is currently pianoled with some guitars and other instrumentalists. We are also looking to introduce more childfocused worship before the children go out to Sunday School. The feel will be contemporary and accessible with contemporary songs si]ng alongside modern and tradi>onal hymns. At the moment our Sunday evening service is at St Stephen s and varies from week to week. We are developing and growing a more informal monthly service (3040 people) with an emphasis on contemporary worship, teaching, tes>mony and prayer, aimed at young adults. The worship is led by a band of 67 (usually) younger musicians, from a pool of around 15. We hold two other services specifically aimed at children: our weekly Wednesday morning Prayers and Bears for preschoolers and their carers, and Tea Time Praise once a month on a Sunday aimed at primary aged children. Other accvices We have 9 home groups mee>ng for Bible study, prayer and encouragement. They are diverse in profile but tend to meet fortnightly. Over half of the church is in a home group. We run the Alpha Course and church members are involved in various other courses such as Jesus Ministry, Worship Central and the Global Leadership Summit. We have ac>ve groups involved in suppor>ng mission partners overseas and local partners closer to home such as Clapham Park Foodbank. Our staff Irfana is our children and families minister. Josie is our youth minister. Penny and Sarah are our administrators. Lizzie is our intern. Paul is our caretaker. Mike, David, Eileen and Glenn are our lay readers and Helen is in training. And we are confident of another pair of clergy hands in the near future.
