New post: Training Director
Living Out is looking to expand the team by appointing a two day a week Training Director ideally worked alongside a church ministry role.
We are looking for a gifted Bible teacher who is sympathetic and has understanding of the needs and experience of same-sex attracted Christians who are faithful to biblical teaching on sexuality and identity. They should be an able communicator with proven experience, knowledge and wisdom capable of equipping churches and their leaders to teach and live out God’s word on sexuality and identity. This will not just be by hands on delivery but also through development of strategy and material to fulfil the needs of the church in this area. The role will also involve taking a lead on the pastoral support of staff and volunteers and being a godly example with a servant heart, seeking to live a life of Christ-like integrity –especially in their own God-given identity, sexuality, gender and relationships.
