**You’ll take this position only if your love for Jesus compels you to do everything possible to point people towards Him.**

We serve a God that is worthy of our praise, and when all else is stripped away, a heart of worship is what God desires from us. When the Church gathers, we have a chance to join together and magnify our praise to God as we grow deeper in our love for Him. It is this genuine love and devotion that then perpetuates into every area of our lives as we walk out the church doors and into a world that so desperately needs to know and experience the love of Christ.

**Philosophy:**

Providence Church holds a high view of music as a part of our overall worship experience. Rather than see music as a “primer” or a “product” we see it as a biblical way that we can magnify God and lead others to do the same. Therefore, the Worship Ministry Director is expected to see their role as more than just providing “good music” but as shepherding the congregation to develop a culture of worship, developing and equipping volunteers in their gifts and abilities, and treating worship as a ministry of faith in which to magnify God.

## Tasks

**Position Summary:**

The Worship Ministry Director will oversee Providence Church’s worship ministry in three main facets:

1.  Developing a God-honoring musical worship ministry
2.  Developing/shepherding individual worship team volunteers
3.  Fulfilling administrative/organizational responsibilities in alignment with overall Church mission/vision

**Responsibilities:**

The Worship Ministry Director will:

1.  Lead the musical worship for worship services

*   Be prepared to lead congregational singing with the worship team or solo

*   Be available for special services such as funerals, communion, and weddings

2\. Lead the Worship Team

*   Train others to lead with quality music that magnifies God
*   Build positive social dynamics
*   Lead efficient, well-organized, and fun weekly worship team rehearsals that encourage input from team members
*   Help less experienced participants become more knowledgeable with their instrument and team role
*   Strengthen the individuals on the team by helping them grow in their own spiritual formation

3\. Work closely with the Technology Director to blend the musical and the technology aspects of a worship service/event

*   The Worship Director will provide the vision and direction for creative elements of the service (audio, visual, lighting) while the Technology Director will ensure the best possible execution of that vision
*   This includes in-house audio/video/lighting elements as well as livestream production

4\. Work as a team with the Providence Church Staff

*   Participate in weekly staff meetings to collaborate with staff, giving input and receiving feedback, as the Sunday morning worship service plan is finalized as a team
*   Develop a working relationship with each ministry team director (i.e. children’s ministry, student ministry, adult ministries…) to provide musical expertise, guidance, and resources to each ministry

5\. Establish a creative planning team to design worship services and special creative elements, i.e. drama, faith stories, announcements, etc.

7\. Support the vision of Providence Church to “Build Bridges to our community” through various community and service opportunities and partnerships
