London Church Engagement Manager

We are delighted to be working in partnership with London City Mission (LCM). LCM is passionate about sharing the love of God and the good news of Jesus Christ with the least reached in London, and to do this in partnership with churches.

We are seeking a London Church Engagement Manager to lead on developing gospel partnerships with churches in London. In this role, you’ll take the lead in expanding the number of giving churches and forging partnerships that enhance commitments in donations, prayer, and volunteering, all aimed at reaching those who are least likely to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

As London Church Engagement Manager you’ll collaborate closely with the ministries and training departments, engaging in inspiring conversations with churches about the financial aspects of church partnerships. Plus, you’ll connect churches with a missionary, fostering strong and lasting relationships with LCM.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

• At least three years’ fundraising experience
• A track record of successfully engaging with, and fundraising from, churches
• Proven experience of developing and managing relationships with church leaders
• An in-depth understanding of the UK Evangelical Church including awareness of a range of theological positions.

You will be part of a charity that has daily and weekly staff prayer meetings, monthly team days that include worship and teaching, and lots of opportunities to live out your faith. If you possess this unique blend of gifting and skills, along with a deep desire to support LCM’s mission to reach those who may be less likely to encounter the message of Jesus in London, then we would love to hear from you.
