Internship with Woven St Leo’s
St Leo’s Basford is a dynamic new church plant in inner – city Nottingham, we’re part of the Woven network of churches and our specific vision is to reach Basford and beyond with the gospel.
As we emerge out of the pandemic and establish a new community in this ancient church, we’re looking for an intern to focus on our kids, families and evangelism work, and generally get stuck in to all that God is doing! It’s a phenomenally exciting opportunity to grow as a leader, help pioneer something new, and be invested into.
This internship is run in partnership with the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, so you’ll get excellent teaching and support on their Apprentice Track, housing is included and a weekly living allowance, starting Sept 2023. Check out their website.
Contact Lydia Corbett on lydia.corbett@wearewoven.church for more information.
