In 2007 in a town called Shepshed (Leicestershire) a group of praying people got together with a vision for reaching young people in their town. 

Through hard work and divine guidance Passion was born, a management team developed, a building secured, funding agreed from the Diocese and Youth worker employed. 

Over the past four years Passion has gained an identity as a strong youth provision in the area, developing working partnerships with the local middle and upper schools, the police, social services and most importantly with the young people it was originally aimed at supporting.  Running drop in sessions during the weekends, working with the schools and other community groups, developing a youth forum and providing sessional work.

Under the guidance of a Youth Missioner a small group of committed volunteers have grown to the point of taking responsibility for some of this work so now it is time to take the next planned step and employ a Pioneer Minister to take what we have to the next stage.  Part of the strategic planning for Passion has always been to develop a form of church relevant to those we spend time with so we are seeking a passionate, committed Pioneer Minister with a heart for young people, schools, community and working alongside established and respected churches of more than one denomination to develop "church" even further

This project has a secured three year funding base and a person with experience in pioneering new churches is sought for this period of time

Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications
