Mission & Evangelism Engagement Lead

CAP is a Christ-centred organisation that focuses on showing God’s love through equipping churches to serve those experiencing debt and poverty and grow in their confidence in mission and evangelism.  

The role

The Mission & Evangelism Engagement Lead will report to the Head of Mission, working with the wider leadership of the charity to ensure that Evangelism & Discipleship consistently remains a central, vibrant and integral part of the work of CAP for our staff and the Church network. 

This role will continue to support a shift from CAP doing evangelism for/to the local church and move towards a relational and contextual engagement with the church that inspires, empowers and appropriately equips the local church for mission and evangelism within their diverse communities. This also aligns with the emerging Mission, Evangelism and Discipleship (ME&D) strategy which will be launched later in 2022. 

The M&EE Lead will seek to keep evangelism and discipleship at the core of CAP by challenging, educating and inspiring frontline staff and teams and promoting an organisational-wide responsibility for evangelism and discipleship. This will be primarily through resource development, coaching and communication. 

They will be the “go to” person for advice and guidance on practical evangelism and discipleship tools, keeping informed of current resources, methods and inspiration, ensuring that CAP and the local church is equipped for evangelism and mission in today's world. This will also include developing in-house and bespoke content for training and resources and collaborating on projects and initiatives to strengthen CAPs mission, evangelism and discipleship strategy. 

Who we're looking for

The Mission & Evangelism Engagement Lead will be someone who is passionate and enthusiastic about empowering the local church to live faithful Christian lives and bring people to faith in Jesus by supporting them on their discipleship journey.  They will be someone who is passionate about and committed to their own discipleship with a desire to take others with them into a deeper relationship with Jesus. This passion will be evident in their communication and leadership style.
