Pastoral Assistant

Opportunity for someone who has a desire to help our Church family grow in their love for the Lord and one another, so that they are equipped to serve the Lord, reaching out and connecting with people in the community for Christ......

• Part-Time - 3 days per week

Tregear Presbyterian Community Church is looking for a godly, gifted and enthusiastic disciple-maker to join our Leadership team as a Pastoral Assistant and support the ministry of the Church in our local area. The church has operated in the Mt Druitt area for over 50 years and, with our Preschool, has sought to be a light to, and serve, our community.

We are a small, vibrant congregation with a passion to reach our local community with the Gospel. At present, the Church does not have an ordained minister. Our Leadership Team consists of both women and men, with both men and women in our Church family serving through reading God’s word, praying, leading the service and sharing God’s word with the congregation. The Church has a 2½ days per week Children’s and Families worker who is developing close ties with the Preschool and its families, teaching SRE in several local schools, while ministering to children and families in our Church.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has a desire to help our Church family grow in their love for the Lord and one another, so that they are equipped to serve the Lord, reaching out and connecting with people in the community for Christ. The Pastoral Assistant will be a member of the leadership team and help build a healthy church that is growing and developing for future generations.

The role is offered on a part-time basis for 3 days per week, including Sunday, with other days to be negotiated. Remuneration will be based on the Presbyterian Church’s set packages.
