The Mitre Benefice comprises three charismatic evangelical churches, situated within and around the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Norwich.

The Mitre has a staff team of 16, and pre-pandemic we were a worshipping community of over 450 people, including children, young people, and students. Throughout lockdown, we embraced becoming an online church, and subscribers to our YouTube channel increased significantly, particularly among the young. As a church we seek to reach out to our local communities through the Sports Factory and our work in schools, the Love Your Neighbour Campaign, ministering in and through our local prisons and Alpha.

We are a busy, fast-paced church seeking to rebuild (post-Covid) and to lay the foundations as we prepare for the next stage of our exciting journey. We believe that this post offers an exciting opportunity to an individual who wants to exercise their administrative gift with responsibility, freedom, and in the context of growth.
