Crosstown’s Vision:

We want people on staff who are excited about what God is doing in the church and unified around our vision. I.E. We need them to understand WHO we are as a church, WHY we do what we do, and HOW we do what we do.

Our vision is to be a multi-site church (one church in multiple locations) working together to lead people to discover, develop and display full devotion to Jesus Christ.

The end goal is to make disciples who are fully devoted to Jesus. Our process for doing that is leading people to discover, develop and display. I.E. Those three Ds not only represent our vision but also our process and environments for making disciples.

Discover—Worship Service.

Develop—Small Groups.

Display—Outreach.

The worship leader is a vital part of helping us create an environment on Sunday mornings that leverage music, media, and the arts to help people discover who Jesus is.

Staff Expectations:

1. Display Christ-like character

2. Pursue a growing relationship with Jesus Christ

3. Demonstrate a lifestyle of love and compassion toward others

4. Maintain confidentiality

5. No sideways talk (if there is an issue go talk to the person directly)

6. Display a strong work ethic and excellence within your area of ministry

Typical Weekly Hours Breakdown:

• Currently 4 hours on Sunday for the Worship service (rehearsal time before service, an hour for the worship service, and appx. half-hour after the service for shutting things off and connecting with the Campus Pastor)

• 6 hours during the week for prep, planning, practice, and communication with your team. The worship leader is to maintain a regular practice time each week with their team. They also should maintain weekly communication with their campus pastor to plan and implement the service order.

Pay Rate and Vacation:

• The Lead Pastor will discuss salary with qualified candidates.

• Part-time Worship Leader employees are allowed 4 Sundays off per year.

While this position does not offer many hours or much pay, we believe that this is a great opportunity for you to be part of something bigger than yourself. We see this position as an opportunity to be a part of a movement of God to change the landscape of churches all over this area. As you may know, there are so many churches in decline, and dying, especially in our region. We must not forget that Jesus has chosen the church to be a shining light in a dark world. We are praying for another leader to join us on this great mission.
