Position Vacant

St Nick’s Associate Minister

The Parish

St Nick’s is a rapidly growing parish with a healthy mix of all ages in the booming regional centre of Goulburn. We are known as the ‘evangelical parish’ in town and faithful expositional Bible teaching is central to our identity. We are currently seeing church attendance at around 160-200 per week. At current growth rates we will run out of capacity in our main service within 2-3 years. We are seeking to continue to grow by planting a network of congregations in Goulburn within the one parish.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Key Responsibilities

1. To build and lead a team from the St Nicholas Anglican Church to plant a new congregation in the new northern housing estates of Goulburn at the beginning of 2025 or 2026. The minister will enter into the City-to-City church planting residency program for 1 ½ - 2 years while embedded and building a team at St Nick’s.

2. To reform and lead the youth and young adult ministry across the whole parish. St Nick’s is seeking to build a single parish wide youth and young adult ministry that is biblical and effective in evangelising and discipling youth and young adults.

3. To share in the preaching ministry during the residency period and, after planting, lead the preaching at the new “St Nick’s North” congregation.

4. To share in conducting occasional services, leading services, lead a connect group and teach SRE in one or more local schools.

5. To share with the other ordained ministers and lay team in pastoral care.

6. To take on various ministry responsibilities as required when other staff are on leave.

7. To work closely with the Rector and the Parish Council in strategic planning for the continued growth of the parish.

8. To engage in wider diocesan life as required of an ordained clergyperson.

9. Any other ministries duties as determined by the Rector.

Terms of Engagement

This is a full-time ministry position with remuneration and conditions of employment according to the Canberra Goulburn Diocesan guidelines.

The position is dependent on a licence being issued by the Bishop of Canberra and Goulburn. The Associate Minister must undertake safe ministry checks, uphold the Code of Good Practice and polices of the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn.

Period of Appointment

This position will be available from 1 January 2023. It will initially be an appointment for two years. The expectation is that the appointment will extend through the congregation planting process. A six-month review will be held to determine suitability for the position.

Criteria

  •  Godliness of character.

  •  Faithfulness to God’s Word, the Creeds and the 39 Articles of Religion.

  •  Ability to teach the Bible faithfully and well, as this is the hallmark of St Nick’s.

  •  Church planting experience (as either a lay person or as clergy).

  •  Effective youth ministry experience.

  •  Ability to relate to a diverse range of people with differing church backgrounds.

  •  Be ordained or willing to enter the ordination discernment process.
