Church Wigan finds itself at a kairos moment, a singular opportunity, for which it needs a bold, relational and experienced leader for its Next Generation Team.  

Church Wigan is part of the first wave of deaneries to create a Youth & Children’s Hub. The new Team Leader will lead this development, finding wise and creative ways to integrate current Next Generation activities focused on 11-18s with the amazing work already done in the parishes amongst primary and pre-school children to create a joined-up, well-resourced pathway of discipleship for young people in Wigan. This will require prayerful discernment, effective team-building and compelling communication of vision.
