Volunteer roles jobs
The churches of St Matthew and St Paul are special places in Fulflood and Weeke, places to wonder, to explore and to belong. We are places to experience God – in music, worship, community, prayer and fun. We are places where curiosity is encouraged – somewhere to encounter Jesus (maybe for the first time), question faith (not for the last time) and discover how to trust God. And we are places where everyone is welcome, with no exceptions. All this is expressed in our strapline, ‘Pilgrims on a journey’.
We seek a creative and enthusiastic Communications Lead to join a small, joyful and committed team in order to support our churches’ growth and development.
