Description
Worship Director Job Description
Position: Worship Director
Reports to: Senior Pastor (with accountability to Session/Elders)
Status: Part-time - $24k
Purpose: Lead and coordinate the worship ministry of Grace in a way that is biblical, reformed, Word-centered, and congregational, executing the worship vision and guardrails established by the Session.
Applications Due Date: Open until filled
Our Worship Commitments:
Worship at Grace is:
- God-centered covenant renewal: God calls; we respond; God speaks; we respond; God feeds; we respond; God blesses; we go.
- Word-centered and prayerful: Scripture read and preached is central; prayers are substantive and pastoral.
- Gospel-shaped: regular confession of sin and assurance of pardon form our people.
- Congregationally sung: the congregation’s voice is the main instrument.
- Reverent joy: warm, accessible, and serious about the holiness and grace of God.
Core Responsibilities:
1) Lead congregational worship that serves the Word
- Plan and lead (or coordinate leadership of) music that supports the liturgy and the preached Word.
- Keep stage leadership pastoral, minimal, and clear, avoiding unnecessary commentary.
- Prioritize congregational engagement over complexity or performance.
- Competency in leading worship from the guitar or piano.
2) Help build a singable, reformed song diet
Maintain a balanced repertoire that is:
- Theologically robust and confessionally compatible
- Christ-centered and gospel-explicit
- Singable for the average congregation (range, tempo, melody)
- Useful across the liturgy (adoration, confession, assurance, response, communion, sending)
3) Lead teams and cultivate volunteers
- Recruit, develop, and shepherd volunteers (musicians, vocalists, tech team collaboration).
- Run rehearsals efficiently with a “serve the congregation” culture.
- Provide clear charts, keys, and recordings; set expectations; communicate schedules early.
4) Steward systems, sound, and service flow
- Maintain Planning Center with strong metadata:
- Key, tempo (BPM), approximate length, arrangement notes, tags (theme + liturgical function)
- Work with tech team so vocals and congregational melody are clear and supportive.
- Help minimize awkward transitions and distractions that pull people out of worship.
Salary: $0-$29K
