About Church Army
Church Army exists to ensure that those on the margins of society know and experience the transformative love of Jesus Christ.
We are an Anglican evangelistic mission agency and our founder’s aim was to reach those who felt no affinity with the church. Rather than expecting people to come into church buildings, he instead grew a community of evangelists who went wherever they were needed to share the message of Jesus in word and action.
With the same mission in mind, we have never stood still, always adapting to the changing needs around us. We now have a mission community of over 500, including over 200 active Commissioned Evangelists working across the UK and Ireland.
Under the leadership of a new CEO, Matt Barlow, Church Army is going through a period of considerable change which will shape the charity for generations to come.
About the role
The Director of Engagement (DoE) role has a pivotal role to play in the future of Church Army. Working closely with the CEO as part of the Senior Leadership Team, the DoE will lead the fundraising and communications strategy and provide oversight to the Engagement Team.
Given this period of change, the role needs someone with a good degree of agility, flexibility, and resilience. The right candidate will be more of a leader than a manager – but with the ability to do both – with an ability to operate in a faith based sector. Both humility and courage are essential characteristics.
We are seeking a strategic leader, with a track record of success in income generation, who can lead and develop a high-performing team and drive change through vital season.
How to Apply
Carnelian has been appointed by the Board to lead this search. Please get in touch if you would like to explore this role further.
Interviews with Carnelian will take place in September 2025. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview with Church Army in October 2025.
We want everyone everywhere to encounter God’s love and be empowered to transform their communities through faith shared in words and action.
