Worship Arts Pastor

Worship Arts Pastor Monte Vista Chapel is a non-denominational church in the Central Valley of California. Over the past fifteen years, we have transitioned from an attractional to a formational model of ministry. We define Spiritual Formation as our ongoing response to God s grace, shaping us into the likeness of Jesus, through the work of the Holy Spirit, in the community of believers, for the sake of the world. It is through our lifelong commitment to Spiritual Formation that we live out our vision of Christ in us, Christ through us. More than a music leader, MVC is looking for a Chief Liturgist who will shepherd the congregation through the church calendar by providing opportunities (music, prayer, sacrament, spiritual exercise, etc.) for them to corporately bump into Jesus. While Sunday Services are a significant place for this to happen, we do not want to limit these opportunities to one specific time of the week.
