You will be a shepherd before you are a musician, a disciple-maker before you are a director. If you are drawn to both the creative and the pastoral dimensions of worship ministry, this role was built for you.

Committed to building genuine relationships across the worship team, staff, leadership, congregation, and broader community. Primary responsibilities Worship planning & leadership Develop, prepare, and lead the weekly contemporary worship service in close collaboration with the Senior Pastor. Select music that is theologically sound, aligned with the church's mission, and connected to the preaching calendar. Provide charts, arrangements, lyric sheets, and on-screen presentation materials for every service. Maintain an organized print and digital music library for use by the worship team. Support other church gatherings as needed, including special services, memorial services, and seasonal events. Team development & discipleship Spiritually shepherd, train, and care for the volunteer worship team — investing in them as people, not just musicians. Recruit and develop gifted musicians and vocalists for the worship team. Nurture and coach team members to grow in both musical skill and spiritual maturity. Manage weekly schedules and rehearsals with clarity, efficiency, and care for volunteers' time. Cultivate a healthy team culture rooted in humility, excellence, and authentic worship.

Collaborate closely with the Director of Technology to ensure seamless audio, visual, and production quality.
