Children, Youth and Families - Mission Enabler 

Fountain of Life Network Church in Mid Norfolk is advertising for a Children, Youth and Families (CYF) Mission Enabler to develop, connect with and support CYF initiatives and churches.

The postholder will develop CYF initiatives in Swaffham and surrounding areas (half-time) and to connect with and support a range of churches and CYF initiatives in the King’s Lynn, Hunstanton, Fakenham and Watton areas  and across the Diocese of Norwich (half time). These will connect with young people, youth ministers (both lay and employed).  Projects will include, Youth Cafes, School involvement, Youth Discipleship Groups, Regional Youth Worship and Gathering events.

Each of the project churches will have been allotted funding designated for the development of CYF mission that must be utilised within the year. For some areas this will be a direct injection of funds to enhance and sustain what already exists, but in other areas this may involve starting CYF work from scratch.

The candidate will be required to work with the existing projects and their respective church expressions and traditions in supporting churches, recruiting and networking with volunteers and staff and in training and educating, working alongside diocesan staff to run a variety of CYF mission courses for the local church and the collective of lay leaders.
