Description:
Trinity United Methodist Church is looking for a part-time contemporary worship leader! Trinity offers three Sunday services, an 8:30AM and 11:00AM traditional service, and a 9:45AM contemporary service. The contemporary service, known as the Sun Service, is currently rebuilding after covid. Trinity is a very covid-conscious congregation, hoping to grow their online and in-person presence.
We are looking for a worship leader who is interested in being part of a very intentional, worshipful, growing community. A typical Sunday morning band consists of the worship leader and 1-3 band members, in an acoustic worship setting (i.e. keys, accounting guitar, viola/violin, small drum kit/cajon.)
Weekly Job Responsibilities:
⁃ planning Sun Service worship music
⁃ Prepare all musical parts for worship, so that music can be a non-distracting, seamless vessel of worship for those around you
⁃ Meeting/coordinating with Sun Service pastor to plan sermon series, music, scriptures, special elements, etc.
⁃ Communicate service order with pastor and staff members responsible for bulletin creation
⁃ Creation of PowerPoint that contains pre-service announcement slide loop, song lyrics, announcement slides, sermon slides, and any other pastor-requested elements
⁃ Scheduling of/communication with all volunteers (lyric slide presenter, sound engineer, band members and live stream engineer)
⁃ Lead band rehearsal (either Wednesday Night or early Sunday Morning with all band members)
⁃ Maintain relationships with volunteers and congregation
Other Responsibilities:
⁃ Monthly financial reports and receipt turn ins
⁃ Time sheet submission
⁃ Maintenance of all equipment, replacing when needed
⁃ Coordinating space set up, and changing periodically (with liturgical calendar and/or sermon series)
⁃ Recruitment of volunteers to play in the band/serve in the sound booth
Preferred Skills & Experience:
⁃ 2+ years of experience leading worship
⁃ Strong ability to lead vocally and from a chord based instrument simultaneously (multi-instrumentalists strongly preferred)
⁃ Experience in an administrative/organizational role
⁃ Strong skills with PowerPoint/slide design software (such as Canva, Adobe programs, etc.)
⁃ Investment in your personal relationship with Christ and the church, and a willingness to participate in the life of Trinity
Please send a resume and a video example of you leading worship (recording in front of a live audience in a church service setting preferred, but if that isn’t possible, a recording of you singing and playing in a private setting will be sufficient!) to [email protected]
