Position Description

Do you dream of joining God’s mission? We’re looking for a passionate follower of Jesus to step into a unique role as Neighbourhood Minister in Newmarket Heights, an urban community where our church has been practicing the sharing of God’s kingdom through friendship with the neighbourhood for over 15 years. This is more than a job — it’s an invitation to live in the neighbourhood, build authentic relationships, and walk alongside people as neighbours and friends. You’ll join a congregation committed to social justice, hospitality, and reimagining what church looks like within a specific neighbourhood.

What You’ll Bring

• A deep love for Jesus and a life shaped by His story.
• A heart for justice and compassion, especially for neighbours who are marginalized or struggling with food insecurity. 
• A people-first posture — you thrive on presence, conversation, and community.
• A commitment to the local church and its role in God’s mission.
• An entrepreneurial spirit — creativity, adaptability, curiosity, and vision.

Who This Role Might Be For

• Recent or soon-to-be graduates seeking meaningful ministry experience before seminary or graduate study.
• Students in theological training who want real-world, contextual church experience.
• Pastors or ministers in transition, looking for space to rest, reimagine, and re-engage with missional ministry.
• Anyone longing for a church that takes God’s mission in the city seriously and wants to join that adventure.

Why This Matters

This role is not just about programs or tasks — it’s about embodying God’s kingdom in everyday life. You’ll walk alongside us and be supported by a congregation that has been on this journey for years. If this excites you, we’d love to talk.
