Sunderland Minster is currently at a very exciting point in its long history. The Diocese of Durham has recently been granted £8M by the Strategic Mission & Ministry Investment Board of the Church of England – 20% of which has been earmarked for the revitalisation of the Minster. The grant, which will be released over the course of the next 6 years, aims to resource the Minster to become financially viable by 2030/31, so that we can not only maintain our building and pay our bills, but flourish, with all kinds of new events, and ministry, taking place in and beyond our premises. It also aims to resource us with staff and capacity to grow our existing congregations, to “plant” new congregations and to resource our wider community ever more generously, imaginatively and inclusively, so that the love of Christ might be known, shown and grown amongst the people of our wonderful city of Sunderland! The Director of Operations will oversee their finance, governance and building and radically develop income-generation to make the Minster financially sustainable for generations to come. Closing Date: Monday 14 April 2025 (12 noon)
