Digital Pastor

Rea Church is a vibrant and diverse community, based in Balsall Heath, Birmingham. While our reach is Birmingham and beyond, we also have a specific missional focus upon the community of Balsall Heath on our doorstep. Balsall Heath is economically deprived, ethnically diverse, demographically young, and over 60% Muslim. Looking a little further afield, virtually every demographic imaginable live within a mile of our church, including a significant population of university students. Our building is on a major artery road out of the city. The missional and discipleship opportunities are extraordinary.

We are at an exciting moment in our journey, with two communities (Anchor Church & St Mary and St Ambrose Church) having come together in 2024 to form Rea Church — a community of around 140 adults and children. Our launch has included a substantial Church of England funding bid for building improvements and staffing increase, with a view to growing the congregation over the next five years.

This role is part of that ongoing project. This role can be combined with several others we’re hiring for at the moment, making the combined position full-time.

Applications are open until 30 April. Interviews will take place between 1-16 May.
