Youth Pastor

Holy Trinity Tewkesbury

Holy Trinity is a vibrant, welcoming church family in the heart of Tewkesbury, passionate about seeing young people encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and fulfil the purposes God has for them. We are looking for a Youth Pastor who shares this heart; someone who loves being with young people, builds genuine relationships, and walks alongside them with wisdom, compassion, and joy.

We long to see our young people (ages 11–18) come to a living faith in Jesus Christ and be equipped to serve in the power of the Holy Spirit. If this vision stirs something in you, we would love to hear from you.

About the role:

We are looking for a Youth Pastor who will lead, shape, and grow our ministry with young people in school years 6–13. You will create spaces where young people can worship, learn, belong, and thrive, from Sunday gatherings and mid‑week groups to one‑to‑one support, social events, and residential trips.

You will bring warmth, creativity, and spiritual depth, helping young people navigate life with faith and resilience. You’ll also work closely with parents, offering support and sign‑posting families to appropriate help when needed, and you’ll invest in volunteers and emerging young leaders so that ministry is shared, sustainable, and flourishing.

This is a role for someone who loves Jesus, loves young people, and loves the local church.

FAQs

The Forge is an online training and resource platform from Growing Young Disciples. It exists to strengthen and support children’s, youth, and family ministry leaders. It is more than a content library. It is a place of sharpening and growth, where gospel depth meets practical wisdom for real-life ministry.

It is for anyone involved in discipling the next generation. Whether you are a full-time youth pastor, a Sunday school volunteer, a church leader, or a parent who wants to think more deeply about gospel-shaped ministry with young people, The Forge has been built with you in mind.

You will find biblically rich training videos, downloadable resources, safeguarding templates, risk assessments, leadership tools, and teaching materials. There is also an online community space where you can connect with others, ask questions, and find encouragement.

The subscription is yearly. You can pay £200 up front, or spread the cost with monthly payments of £20. Either way, you are signing up for a one-year commitment. After that, you are free to cancel at any time.

The subscription covers your whole church team, so anyone involved in children’s, youth, or family ministry can access the training resources and downloads.

Each subscription comes with one named community member. But we know that some churches have more than one key leader involved in children’s, youth, or family ministry. That is why we offer up to three named users per church to access the Forge community area.

This allows your team to grow together without turning the space into a free-for-all. If you need more individual sign-in permissions because of a larger team or unique circumstances, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you.

No. A subscription gives access to your local church team only. Resources must not be shared, copied, or distributed to anyone outside your church. If content is shared beyond these terms, access to The Forge will be withdrawn. We take this seriously in order to protect the integrity of the platform and ensure fairness for all.

Yes. The Forge is a living platform, not a static archive. New resources are added throughout the year, including training videos, downloadable tools, and leadership materials. We are always listening to what churches need and developing fresh content in response.

Yes. This is one of the most common requests we receive. The Forge includes a growing set of short, practical training videos with built-in discussion questions and leader notes. They are ideal for use in monthly or termly team meetings.

Yes. If your church is facing a particular challenge or needs support in a specific area of ministry, we would love to hear from you. The Forge exists to serve the local church, not to replace it. We are here to help.

Yes. While the platform is built on a conservative evangelical and reformed theological foundation, it is designed to serve churches across a wide range of denominations. The resources are biblically faithful, pastorally wise, and practically adaptable.

We would be happy to show you around. Send us a message and we can arrange a preview or talk through how The Forge could serve your team.
