Director of Worship

Sunnyside Alliance Church Director of Worship Position The Sunnyside family is a community of individuals who love God and love one another. We are a mixture of blue- and white-collar workers, from farmers and laborers to businessmen/women and medical professionals. The congregation is multi-generational, from toddlers to great-grand parents. We recently completed a $400,000 multi-year renovation of the church. We are also very thankful to have a new senior pastor and are looking forward to what God will do in this next season!

Our Vision Statement:

To see all of Jesus for all the world.

Our Mission Statement:

To know Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King. Location Sunnyside Alliance church is located on the waters of Maryland's beautiful Eastern Shore, nestled in farm country between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. While there are plenty of popular chain store and restaurants, you will find an even greater number of local, unique shops, attractions and places to eat. When you're not out on a boat, in the field, or eating a delicious meal, there is plenty to do locally such as downtown shopping, the movie theatre, hunting of all varieties, sightseeing of local, historic sites such as the lighthouse and even a newly erected Harriet Tubman Museum. While we are in a quiet rural setting, you can easily reach the beach at Ocean City, Maryland or the endless cultural activities of Washington, DC in just over an hour.
