FULL CHURCH PROFILE

here: frootgroup.com/risingsunworship Rising Sun Christian Church is a non-denominational church located in Rising Sun, Indiana, a small, rural town led by Lead Pastor Shane. With ties to the Restoration Movement and a genuine heart for its community, the church gathers for two Sunday morning services at 9:00a and 11:00a, with a modern worship style and a congregation of roughly 500 people who are deeply invested in the mission and future of the church. What stands out most about Rising Sun is the people, and the fruit speaks for itself. The church has seen over 150 baptisms in the last three years and has nearly tripled in size in that same span. That kind of growth does not happen by accident, and it reflects a congregation that is genuinely engaged, a staff unified around the mission, and a community that is bringing people in and watching them take root. Pastor Shane leads with clarity and conviction, and the team around him is loyal, grounded, and deeply committed to what God is doing at Rising Sun. For a worship leader who wants to serve somewhere that still feels personal and close-knit, where the ministry is real and the momentum is genuine, this is worth a serious look. The church is seeking the right candidate to take over as the new Worship Pastor to oversee their worship ministry. The right candidate will have a deep personal life in Christ and the character and capacity that align with the church's overall mission and vision. Below are the qualifications and responsibilities Froot Group and the church have identified for this role:

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Plan and lead worship services with the worship team, creating authentic, intentional worship experiences that prioritize congregational engagement over performance. Recruit, train, mentor, schedule, and disciple volunteers for the worship and production teams, including instrumentalists, vocalists, and production volunteers, investing in them as worship leaders rather than simply filling slots. Foster spiritual and leadership growth within the team through ongoing mentoring, discipleship, and intentional one-on-one investment. Lead focused, well-run rehearsals that eliminate dead space and weak transitions, raising the musical and spiritual standard of the team. Be able to lead a full Sunday service from guitar or piano, with the musical competence to direct the band, cue transitions, and make real-time adjustments. Manage worship ministry and production (including ProPresenter slides, lyrics, visuals, and Ableton or tracks, sound, video, lighting, and cameras). Oversee setup, operation, and maintenance of sound, lights, video, and graphics for all services and events. Manage technology upgrades, media file production for online broadcasts, and graphic and video projects. Oversee technical aspects of special events such as weddings and funerals, and maintain the worship department budget, licensing, and resources. Collaborate closely with Pastor Shane to align services with the church's vision and doctrine, and cast and execute vision for the worship ministry throughout the week with follow through and accountability. Maintain a working understanding of the livestream and website so the online worship experience is consistent and well led.

Full agreement with and willingness to support the beliefs and theological convictions of Rising Sun Christian Church.
