The Antioch Network is looking for a leader for City Life Church Manchester, a recently established church in the centre of Manchester.   Manchester is an exciting, young, vibrant city with many different cultures mixing in the centre.

Your role would be to grow the church and to replant over the next few years.    You would lead a team of volunteers and part-time staff to reach out to the city centre, make disciples, and to see opportunities for new congregations.  The post is exciting and challenging, in a fast-changing city with huge potential.

About You – what you would need to offer:
