Church Relations Manager, London
Part-time 3 days per week, £22,000 - £24,000 (FTE £37,000 - £40,000)

Do you have a good understanding of the local Church across London and a desire to connect with and serve leaders and churches?

Are you passionate about the Global Church and committed to strengthening the ministry of the Gospel through the local church where persecution is most extreme?

Do you feel energised by the thought of connecting the ‘Church’ locally and globally so that awareness is raised, the persecuted church is strengthened, and faith is ‘mutually enriched’ (Romans 1).

Open Doors is a Christian charity, part of Open Doors International, a global NGO network which works in over 60 countries to support and strengthen persecuted Christians. Last year the UK base raised approximately £15 million to provide practical support to persecuted Christians such as food, medicines, trauma care, legal assistance, safe houses and schools, as well as spiritual support through Christian literature, training and resources.

We have two exciting opportunities to lead on the development of Open Doors partnership with churches across London. We need dynamic and inspirational people who will mobilise churches and Christians across London to pray, give and act on behalf of persecuted Christians. These roles represent a strategic opportunity to influence and advocate on behalf of persecuted Christians around the world.

You will discover that we work here because we are passionate about the mission of Open Doors. These roles will provide you with the opportunity to use your God-given character and talents to contribute to the work of Open Doors, and to be part of a team that seeks to grow the charity, to support and encourage one another, and uphold the Christian values that we base our identity on.
