Worship Director

Momentum is a growing non-denominational church with a diverse congregation. We are located in the heart of Lake County, Indiana and are seeking someone for this part-time position within our church family.

Our worship director is responsible for leading and overseeing all musical and artistic elements of a church service, including selecting appropriate music, rehearsing worship teams, coordinating technical aspects like sound and visuals, and ensuring the overall worship experience aligns with the church's vision, fostering a spiritually engaging environment for the congregation through music and leadership. We have a strong worship and technical team that works with the worship director to carry out this mission.

Key responsibilities of the worship director include:

• Music Selection and Planning: Choosing worship songs that fit the theme of each service, considering the congregation's needs and preferences, and planning the musical flow of worship.
• Worship Team Leadership: Recruiting, training, and managing a team of musicians, vocalists, and technical operators to deliver high-quality worship services.
• Rehearsal Management: Leading weekly rehearsals with the worship team, ensuring everyone is prepared musically and spiritually for services.
• Service Coordination: Collaborating with the pastor and other church leaders to plan worship services, including transitions between elements like prayer, preaching, and music.
• Technical Oversight: Working with the sound and video team to ensure quality audio and visual production during worship services.
• Spiritual Development: Fostering a culture of worship within the church by encouraging personal reflection, spiritual growth, and authentic expression of faith through music.
• Special Events: Leading worship for special events like Christmas, Easter, and other church celebrations.
• Budget Management: Developing and managing the worship ministry budget, including music purchases, equipment maintenance, and related expenses.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Strong Musical Ability: Excellent vocal skills are a must, proficiency on one or more lead instruments is needed, and an understanding of music theory relating to keys, chords, and progressions is essential. Playing "by ear" is not what we are seeking in this position.
• Leadership Skills: Ability to recruit, motivate, inspire, and effectively lead a team of musicians and volunteers.
• Communication Skills: Clear communication with the worship team, pastors, and church staff to ensure alignment with the church vision.
• Spiritual Maturity: A deep personal faith and understanding of the importance of worship in the Christian life.
• Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with sound and lighting systems, and the ability to work with audio and video technology.

Desired Skills and Abilities:

• Passion: We are seeking someone with a contagious passion to see people connect in worship with God!
• Creativity: Thinking outside the box is a HUGE plus for us! Momentum Church is flexible and adaptable and willing to try new things! We're only 10 years old, so we don't really have traditions and/or a traditional mindset.
• Diversity: Momentum Church is an ethnically diverse, multi-generational church serving all of Lake County, Indiana. We need someone who is comfortable with a variety of styles of modern worship.
• Growth Minded: We would love to have someone who wants to grow with us and eventually be full-time. We have a HUGE vision and are seeking someone to help us move forward into our vision!
• Gifting/Skills: We need someone who can play a lead instrument and sing. We also are specifically seeking someone with the ability to utilize chord charts and who understands some basics about keys, chords, and progressions. We will not be hiring anyone for this position who can only "play by ear."

We look forward to hearing from you! Please, do not contact the church directly. All communication should happen through this platform. Thank you and we are praying with you for God's direction!
