Description
OUR PROFILE
Redeemer currently has 315 communing and 85 non-communing members, with an average attendance of 385 people (90 children) in one Sunday morning service. 35% of those who attend each week are 18-years-old or younger. We are a multi-generational congregation – 25% 55 and up, 50% families with teenagers and children, and 25% young adults and singles.
Redeemer’s worship services are more liturgical than free-form. Our building is traditional. We have pews and stain-glass windows. However, the dress (and the atmosphere) is informal. We are led by a worship band, including acoustic and electric guitars, bass, keyboard, and drums, and, occasionally, other instrumentation. We typically sing new arrangements of traditional hymns, as well as songs from Indelible Grace, CityAlight, Getty Music, Sovereign Grace Music, and others. We strive to worship God in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Passionately, and also earnestly. With both joy and reverence.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Redeemer is seeking to hire a Director of Worship, who would serve the vision of Redeemer by planning and executing worship services, and multiply ministry among the saints by identifying, recruiting and supporting singers and musicians to lead the church in worship. The Director of Worship is crucial in our strategy of multiplication through church planting. He or she will play a vital role in multiplying worship leaders for future church plants. While excellence and experience in musical performance is a prerequisite, the ideal candidate should display a passion for maximizing the congregation’s participation in both corporate and private/family worship.
