CCCNZ JOBS

The CCCNZ Service Trust exists to serve and support the churches of the CCCNZ/Open Christian Brethren movement by fostering cooperation, visibility, advocacy, and vitality. We provide services to the movement in accordance with our deed, enabling churches to thrive and grow in pointing people to Jesus through the Gospel from the Bible. The Trust operates with respect for and the upholding of the operational and ecclesiastical autonomy and independence of the churches.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, Christ-centred strategic leader to lead our Service Trust as Chief Executive Officer. The CEO works with the Trust Board to develop and implement our long-term strategy, lead engagement with our stakeholders, and undertake the important leadership and administrative responsibilities of the organisation.

You will provide strategic and operational leadership to the Service Trust under the direction, and with the support, of the Trust Board, building strong, interdependent partnerships with related organisations in the movement for the good of our churches and ministries who will benefit from our effectiveness and impact.

You are gifted in the areas of strategic leadership at a national or international level, stakeholder engagement, vision casting, and organisational administration. You are an effective leader and communicator with a Christ-centred, evangelistic heart, and a desire to see the Good News of Jesus Christ shared with the world. You will have strong church and ministry experience, preferably within the CCCNZ/Open Brethren movement context, and a close alignment to the beliefs, values, and practices inherent in our movement.

The CEO is required to live, work, and lead in accordance with our Statement of Faith, and our principles and practices, and you will be able to demonstrate the qualifications of an elder as described in the Bible (although being on eldership is not a requirement).

Applications and enquires can be made in confidence to Chris Broadbent at chris@avodahhr.co.nz. A position description is available for potential candidates to review. Applications for this position close on 12 June 2025.
