Around 350 people currently attend our Sunday services (9:30am and 11:30am) at The Village Hotel in Farnborough, where we welcome an unusually high number of first-time visitors. We’re part of Commission, a group or sphere of 625 churches within Newfrontiers. Newfrontiers is a family of 5,000 churches in 90 nations worldwide. We are also affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance.

Our mission is: to help people know God, find freedom, discover their purpose and make a difference.

Our vision is: we see a growing church of 500 people transforming lives and building community.

Why Now?

As we grow, so does the complexity of making church happen well. We’re looking for an experienced, capable and people-focused Head of Operations to join our senior leadership team and help create the systems, structures and culture that will enable the church to thrive.

Role and Responsibilities

As Head of Operations, you will oversee the day-to-day operational and administrative life of the church, leading the Operations Team and working closely with the Senior Pastor, ministry leaders, staff and volunteers.

You’ll be working across almost every aspect of church life, helping our ministry teams focus on what they do best because the operational foundations around them are strong.

More than just operations

We’re looking for someone who understands that church operations isn't simply about processes, policies and spreadsheets. It’s about creating the environment in which ministry can flourish.

You’ll be joining a church that is growing and entering an exciting season of change. That means there will be plenty to build, improve and develop — from our systems and teams to our venues and long-term facilities strategy.
