If you have a heart for working with children, young people, and their families and want to spend a year serving Christ as a member of a Missional Community, then this is the role for you.
The role involves working alongside Tom Woods, our full-time Schools & Families Minister, in church-based work, community involvement, and input to schools. Crossroads Earlham has an established presence in the area’s primary schools delivering assemblies, small group sessions, and lunch-time activities. During the past year we have established a Youth Group reaching out to young people living near St Elizabeth’s.
You will live in the Christian Missional Community in the St Elizabeth’s Vicarage on Cadge Road with other house members. The Missional Community has a rhythm of prayer, worship, and service to each other and the community, involving all the house members. You will receive £75 per week to help with your living costs.
Interested? Please email Tom Woods on tom.woods@earlham.church to organise an initial conversation.

Mission House Resident
We are looking for two or three young people to become part of our residential Christian Missional Community in the St Elizabeth’s Vicarage on Cadge Road.
The Mission House has been successfully running for three years in Earlham. House members are people volunteering in the parish whilst seeking God’s will for their lives, or who want to serve God in Earlham at the same time as working or studying.
If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity then contact di.rowlandson@earlham.church for more details.
If you wish to apply to be part of the Mission House Community then send a brief statement outlining why you are interested and what you could offer to di.rowlandson@earlham.church
About us
Earlham is a large, mainly residential parish on the west side of Norwich with a population of around 22,000 people. It is home to the UEA and also to seven schools, which reflects the relative youth of its population. There are significant levels of deprivation in parts of the parish; about 50% of the housing is social housing.
Our vision is ‘To know Jesus, to make Him known, and to do this together’. We are passionate about seeing the rule and reign of Jesus become a reality in Earlham; a transformation of the whole community as people hear about Jesus and see the Kingdom of God coming close to them. We celebrate Earlham as a unique community which God loves made up of people He loves, whose lives He wants to see flourish in every way.
There are three churches in the parish, and we engage in different expressions of worship. The team in Earlham is growing, and we are seeing more local people meeting Jesus.
