We are seeking a Church Reps Manager to mobilise churches to actively engage in gospel outreach. You’ll build financial, prayer, and volunteer support through a nominated Church Rep, creating a vibrant community of partnership. In this role, you’ll work closely with Church Reps to share an inspiring vision of reaching the one in two people who might not otherwise hear the good news, both in London and beyond. Together, with LCM’s resources, you’ll help empower churches to amplify their outreach efforts.

• At least two years fundraising experience
• Excellent communications experience (writing copy, creating content)
• Experience of developing and implementing a strategy
• Strong influencing and interpersonal skills

You will be part of a charity that has daily and weekly staff prayer meetings, monthly team days that include worship and teaching, and lots of opportunities to live out your faith. If you possess this unique blend of gifting and skills, along with a deep desire to support LCM’s mission to reach those who may be less likely to encounter the message of Jesus in London, then we would love to hear from you.
