ABOUT THE CHURCH
We welcome everyone to join with us in discovering Jesus and sharing God’s love, especially by caring for those in need.
Located in a multicultural and socioeconomically diverse neighbourhood, the church actively promotes inclusion, stands against racism and discrimination, and is an equal opportunity employer.
OUR ETHOS – GUIDING VALUES AND IDEALS
We believe that God is loving, good and just, and chooses to reveal himself to us! He made humans in his image, so we’re designed to live in relationship with him and with each other in community. The world is currently not as God wants, and his plan is to renew the whole of creation. He invites and calls us to the privilege of working with him on this mission.
With this in mind, we want to reflect God’s love and character in our values and actions.
OUR VALUES
- We value growing in relationship with God in a wide variety of ways - welcoming questions and doubts as vital parts of learning and growing. We long for people to know Jesus and follow Him.
- We build relationships on love, compassion, and mutual respect.
- We treat everyone with kindness and dignity, caring especially for those in need, and seeking justice and reconciliation.
- We seek to reflect God’s generosity, integrity and honesty in business.
- We share our beautiful building with the local community and offer a place of belonging, hope, and participation.
- We believe leadership is servant-hearted, and all are encouraged to take part.
- We seek to express encouragement, forgiveness, and lasting hope.
OUR WORK AND MISSION
Our church activities flow out of our community's passions and interests, aiming to embody God's character in all we do.
OPERATIONS MANAGER - ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES
The Operations Manager is a key support for the church’s leadership and heads the staff team providing management over key operational and missional areas of the church’s activities.
This leadership role supports the ethos and ministries of the church and its mission to be a church for the community - discovering Jesus, sharing God’s love, and caring for those in need.
A vital aim for our church’s work in the local community is that our staff relationships, our Venue ministry, our Christian hospitality and how we use and share our building should all reflect God’s character - showing compassion, generosity, and kindness.
The role has a lot of different components, so we’re looking for someone who sees all aspects of this job as an expression of the church’s mission to proclaim the Good News and will facilitate and serve the congregation, the staff and the volunteer teams as they creatively explore ways to express our Christian ethos through the life and ministries of the church.

They will need to be a “servant“ leader who is mentally agile, energetic, able to schedule and prioritise, a good delegator, a team player, a quick learner and capable of taking initiatives, with a healthy understanding of self-care - we’re not looking for a “hero”, but someone who can work sustainability.

- Keep administrative records. Provide reports for the Trustees.
Administrative Services and Support:
- Provide administrative support for the Ministers. Develop and maintain administrative, organisational, communications systems and record keeping procedures for the church’s general administration. Maintain membership and constitutional records.
