Job Description:

About us:

We are a 5 year old church plant that is experiencing explosive growth in a medium-sized community. We began with 80 people and we currently average 750. Our growth has not come from pulling people from other churches. We reached unchurched people in our community by emphasizing our motto that we are a “church for imperfect people.”

Our Sunday gatherings are casual, energetic, and intentionally programmed to break down barriers with people who might be reluctant and/or fearful to attend a church service. We do not call ourselves a “seeker church,” instead we describe our environment as “authentic.” We don’t water down the Bible’s message, but we don’t hide our own shortcomings by refusing to address real problems that plague real people.

We’ve just moved into a renovated warehouse as our permanent location (after 5 years of being mobile). Our Sunday gatherings feature great music (both mainstream and modern worship). If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of incorporating songs by John Mayer, 3 Doors Down, Michael Jackson, or Lady Antebellum alongside of songs by Hillsong, DecemberRadio, and Third Day, then this position probably isn’t for you. We use unique stage design, lighting, and multi-screen projection to aesthetically complement the music set every week.

You can listen to samples of our current music team at imperfectpeopleallowed.com

About you:

We’re looking for someone who first and foremost wants to be a part of a church that genuinely focuses on reaching unchurched people. That means you need to be up on current music (mainstream and worship). We make no apologies for using mainstream music in our gatherings because music is a powerful tool for breaking down barriers.

We already have a team of excellent volunteer musicians, vocalists, and sound techs in place. We need someone who can lead this existing team and recruit new team members. You would need to know how to love, instruct, develop, and appropriately correct team members. You also need to be willing to learn our environment as you gradually develop experience with leading it. You have to be willing to work with the Pastor, and the Creative Arts Director in making programming decisions.

You need to be an above average vocalist who can lead and sing backup. Playing guitar (rhythm and lead) is a plus, but not a deal breaker. Please have a recording of your vocal and instrumental abilities prepared that you can share with us.

About the position:

This is a full-time Worship Leader position with optional health insurance available.

Salary is based on ability and experience.
