We are LOVECHURCH, an Anglican church, part of the HTB network based on the south coast. We exist to see the Kingdom of God come in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole as it does in heaven. That means, as a community we are working towards the evangelisation of the town where we live, the transformation of its society and the revitalisation of the church. We are very excited to be advertising for the role of a part time kids worker to work alongside our director of kids and families ministries and to join our large and lively team here in the heart of Bournemouth.

With 7 miles of golden sand stretching from Poole to Christchurch and the New Forest National Park on our doorstep, Bournemouth makes for a very desirable place to live. Our church is firmly rooted in the life of this university town, which bustles all year round with Christmas markets in the winter and beach and forest activities in the summer.

We love life, we love God and we LOVECHURCH.

We look to serve the community which we live within.
