Worship Pastor

Introduction

Dear Candidate,

Christ Church Peckham is looking for a Worship Pastor who is hungry to see revival to join our growing team. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to play a foundational role in a church that is experiencing a remarkable season of growth and renewal in the heart of South London.

A Church on the Move

Since our Vicar, Fernando Carrillo, was installed in June 2024, Christ Church Peckham has grown from around 30 adults to over 150, with 54 people baptised. New ministries have launched across the board — from an evening service to student outreach and prison ministry to Alpha courses and connect groups. We have hosted a week of 24/7 prayer and worship, and we believe this is only the beginning.

The Role

As Worship Pastor, you will be at the heart of our vision to build a house of 24/7 prayer and worship. This is both a spiritual and strategic leadership role. You will lead worship across services, build and develop a team of musicians and vocalists, and help create an environment where people encounter God in a real and transformative way.

You will shape the worship culture of a rapidly growing church, working closely with the Vicar and Pastoral Lead to ensure that everything we do is grounded in our values of Humility, Heart, Honour, Hosting, and Holiness.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking someone who is proficient on a primary instrument (guitar or piano) and a gifted singer, with proven experience leading both planned and spontaneous worship. You will be a strong leader with a pastoral heart — someone who can build, equip, and inspire a team while nurturing their spiritual growth.

 Key Details

Contract: Full-time, fixed term until December 2030

Salary: £32,000 per annum 

Hours: 35 hours per week (Tuesday–Friday, some Saturdays and Sunday)

Location: Christ Church Peckham, 676–680 Old Kent Road, London SE15 1JF
