We’re a close-knit staff team that cares deeply about people—not just programs—and we’re expectant about what God is continuing to build in this next season.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Worship Arts Director who desires more than leading songs—we’re looking for someone who wants to shape a culture of reverent and energetic worship at PCC.
This role is about creating environments where people can genuinely encounter God, building and discipling teams, and helping our church engage in worship that is both authentic and excellent.
Role Flexibility
We are seeking the right person for this role and are open to shaping the position accordingly. This may be a full-time role, or a modified / bi-vocational position for a candidate whose experience and availability align well with our needs.

- Additional ministry oversight as discussed
- Manage and steward the worship ministry budget
Who You Are
- You have a genuine, growing relationship with Jesus that shapes how you lead
- You’re not just musically skilled—you lead people well
- You value both authenticity and excellence in worship
- You’re relational, humble, and team-oriented
- You’re a self-starter who takes initiative and follows through
