Dear Candidate,
Christ Church Peckham is looking for a Worship Pastor who is hungry to see revival to join our growing team. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to play a foundational role in a church that is experiencing a remarkable season of growth and renewal in the heart of South London.
A Church on the Move
Since our Vicar, Fernando Carrillo, was installed in June 2024, Christ Church Peckham has grown from around 30 adults to over 150, with 54 people baptised. New ministries have launched across the board — from an evening service to student outreach and prison ministry to Alpha courses and connect groups. We have hosted a week of 24/7 prayer and worship, and we believe this is only the beginning.
The Role
As Worship Pastor, you will be at the heart of our vision to build a house of 24/7 prayer and worship. This is both a spiritual and strategic leadership role. You will lead worship across services, build and develop a team of musicians and vocalists, and help create an environment where people encounter God in a real and transformative way.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will shape the worship culture of a rapidly growing church, working closely with the Vicar and Pastoral Lead to ensure that everything we do is grounded in our values of Humility, Heart, Honour, Hosting, and Holiness.
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking someone who is proficient on a primary instrument (guitar or piano) and a gifted singer, with proven experience leading both planned and spontaneous worship. You will be a strong leader with a pastoral heart — someone who can build, equip, and inspire a team while nurturing their spiritual growth.
