Kids & Families Worker, Ryde (Part time)
ABOUT RYDE AND ALL SAINTS
There has never been a more exciting time to join the team at All Saints Ryde. As part of a revitalisation project for the Isle of Wight and in partnership with the HTB network of churches (including Harbour Church Portsmouth), we are building an amazing team to bring the vision of a thriving, healthy, and outward-looking contemporary worshipping community to life. This is a rare opportunity to join a community passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus and help shape the vision, values, and culture for the next phase of ministry at All Saints Ryde.
Ryde is the largest town on the Isle of Wight, home to around 37,000 people. Known as the gateway to the island, it has excellent transport links to the mainland, a beautiful sandy beach, and a vibrant community with plenty of independent shops and cafés. The town has a diverse socioeconomic mix, with both areas of affluence and pockets of real deprivation, making it a place of both opportunity and challenge for ministry.
All Saints’ Church is a landmark building on the island, with its towering spire visible for miles. But more than a historic building, we long to be a visible beacon of hope and faith for the community—playing our part in the evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the Church, and the transformation of society.
THE ROLE
We are looking for someone passionate about Kids & Families to lead and grow our children’s ministries at All Saints Ryde. You will be responsible for running Sunday kids’ ministries, developing a team of volunteers, supporting families, and expanding midweek ministry opportunities, as well as exploring innovative ways to reach children and families.
