Hiring a New Worship Leader at West Ridge Church
I’m really excited about what’s happening at West Ridge. Here are a handful of updates:
- almost 700 people have accepted Christ in the last 8 months
- attendance is up by almost 10% from last year
- we’ve seen 5 times as many baptisms this year
- group connections are up nearly 20%
- we’re starting the Launch Network this year to equip church planters
- we’re getting ready to launch a new campus this fall
With all this happening, we’re finding the need to expand our worship team. Specifically, we’re looking for someone who will lead worship primarily at our current campus and periodically at the new campus.
I offered to take the role, but, besides not being able to sing, they said I didn’t meet these expectations of the role. We need a…
- person driven with a passion for worship and a calling to serve the local church
- leader who instinctively knows how to recruit, develop and shepherd staff and volunteers
- gifted musician and vocalist with the ability to create charts, arrange music and communicate effectively with other musicians
- team player that enjoys collaborating and leading others to produce excellent worship environments
- highly creative individual who is motivated to dream of new and innovative ways to connect with a diverse culture
- person able to multi-task and manage details related to producing excellent worship services
Maybe leading worship isn’t in my future, but I’m still holding out hope for the launch of an interpretative dance team.
In the mean time, if you think you or someone you know is qualified to lead a very talented worship team of musicians and vocalists, email me a resume and cover letter. If possible, please include a link to some samples of you leading worship.
In the mean time, I’m going to continue practicing my pirouettes.
No, no no Tony!
You need someone with a Master’s Degree (M. Div. preferred) and 3-5 years experience. Forget all that “able to lead worship” and “works well with ‘people’” stuff.
