Göteborgs Stadsmission is a non-profit, faith-based organization dedicated to supporting individuals living in vulnerable situations. Together, we aim to create a Gothenburg where everyone is included—a city where we meet the person, not the problem.
ABOUT US
The Meeting Place at S:t Johanneskyrkan is a gathering spot for people from all over the city, welcoming over a hundred visitors each day.
We are a community church and a worshiping congregation, offering a variety of activities, individual support, and interpersonal encounters. Our purpose is to enhance individuals' sense of belonging and trust in their own abilities while contributing to the reduction of social and economic vulnerability. The Meeting Place at S:t Johanneskyrkan is one of five units within the Stadsmissionen's area of Meeting Places and Support.

ABOUT THE POSITION
S:t Johanneskyrkan was built in 1866 as a church for the unchurched, and that remains our mission today. S:t Johanneskyrkan is open 365 days a year. Here, the homeless find rest in the pews, the lonely come to share meals in community, and many find the security they otherwise lack. We also hold worship services twice a week amidst the clatter of coffee cups and the snoring of those who need to sleep after a night in the cold.
This is where you come in. We are looking for someone who longs to lead worship in this unique environment, alongside our diverse congregation. You should have an openness to unconventional encounters and a desire for a vibrant community church filled with life and movement. What you will receive is an opportunity to proclaim the gospel where it is truly needed and a chance to speak to those who stand on the threshold of faith. During the summer months, when regular priests and deacons are on leave, we hope you will also be available for conversations in our café in connection with the worship service.
We wish for you to have the time and willingness to step in with us as needed during the terms and more regularly during the summer months and other breaks to cover for regular staff.
WHO ARE YOU?
For us, your personal qualities are important, and we appreciate your ability to remain calm in unexpected situations. An interest in meeting people in various life situations and a special heart for those who do not conform to norms is an asset. You are passionate about finding hope alongside those in despair and proclaiming the gospel in everyday language that brings light where darkness prevails.
- You are ordained as a priest according to the Church of Sweden's order.
- Experience working with individuals in particularly vulnerable situations is an advantage.
- You must be able to collaborate and set boundaries.
- You are unpretentious and can work together with employees, volunteers, and visitors.
Our values are based on the principle of the unique and equal worth of all individuals. We hope you share this value foundation with us, which you can read more about here:
