Assistant Minister – Holy Trinity Launceston
About the Role
Assistant Minister – Young Families & Community Connections
Full-time
The successful applicant will be happy living and ministering in a small city (population 70,000) with a fantastic foodie scene (named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy in 2021), with minimal traffic (everywhere in town is 10 minutes drive), and a stone’s throw from dozens of wineries.
The parish has established traditional Sunday morning gatherings but is keen to explore and build connections with young families in the area and a number of local schools (including one Anglican school). One in five residents of Launceston are under 19, and the parish wants to invest in reaching these younger generations with the gospel. They are open to exploring creative ideas to reach and disciple young people and their families.
The families of Launnie (as the locals call it) need someone to show them how following Jesus makes a difference. They need someone to disciple their kids, to have strong and courageous faith in the face of opposition.
