Faith Christian Community - Worship Pastor

FCC is committed to serving their city and providing a place where people can encounter Jesus and experience gospel life change. This church has been known for a long time as a place with great worship, strong Bible teaching, and a heart for the lost. They believe in partnering with and supporting other churches in the mission of impacting as many people for Jesus as they possibly can and have developed strong relationships with several other local churches to accomplish just that. To this end, FCC is in a strong position to continue growing their Kingdom impact and extending their reach by the grace of God.

More recently, FCC built a fantastic community center outfit with meeting space, recreation facilities, and a enormous gymnasium with 2 full sized basketball courts, volleyball courts and a stage with full AVL systems which opened on April 1, 2017. In addition to serving the local community, this outstanding facility also hosts FCC's second campus which launched on Easter 2019.

FCC is a church for all people. This gospel-centered church is committed to leading people towards a life focused on the finished work of Jesus, the hope of the Gospel as declared in God's Word, and the way this truth transforms us into becoming fully devoted disciples of Jesus. The goal at FFC is to create environments and experiences where people can encounter God in the midst of their life.  Pastor Joe Robideaux, is remarkably aware of current trends in growing modern churches and continues to be a student of culture. More importantly, he knows the community in which he leads and understands the unique needs of those he shepherds. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Joe is committed to aiming FCC towards their mission and continued impact in the years to come. He is a Christ-centered and believable leader who loves lost people and is focused on the Kingdom work God has called FCC to lay ahold of.

The culture of the worship ministry team is moderately healthy but needs a life-giving, invested, spiritual and creative leader who will build, train, develop and disciple musicians and . The right leader will lead from a place of joy, declaration and faith calling people to engage in Biblically sound, Jesus-centered, and participative worship. FCC regularly talks about their "3 buckets of ministry". These include the weekend experience, family ministry, and small groups. However, there is an expectation that all 3 of these "buckets" or ministry areas will be pointing people towards outreach in our city. They want to serve the city well and then invite people to know the love of Jesus. The Worship Pastor will be a key contributor to this ministry philosophy and ethos.

This new leader will bring oversight, management, and visionary leadership to the FCC Worship Ministry. They will serve as the primary worship leader for weekend gatherings and events while also raising up a team around them, having a desire to give leadership away. Their presence on stage and ability to engage the congregation in dynamic, joy-filled, Christ-exalting, Spirit-led worship with excellence will be a key component. Their leadership will influence the culture at Faith which includes all aspects of worship, creative and technical ministry. They will work towards the growth and expansion of worship, creative and technical ministry opportunities as well as creative planning for all FCC worship gatherings and big events as called upon.

This person will be a ministry partner for Pastor Joe, collaboration and connecting with his style, vision, creativity, philosophy of ministry, and desire to engage believers and reach the lost. This is an amazing place to grow, lead, stretch and experience synergy with a healthy team and also be a part of seeing a culturally and ethnically diverse and intergenerational community reached for Christ while expanding in future multi-site options.  With a focused vision at FCC to "empower champions of hope" the right leader will be a carrier of that hope. If each person at FCC see it as their role and responsibility to live out the calling of the Gospel, there's no telling what God might do in Anchorage and beyond.
