The Worship Pastor is primarily responsible for overseeing the the needs of the worship service, leading a musically diverse and generationally sensitive worship service and growing the music ministry at FBCC. It is anticipated that the duties associated with this position will be full time.

• Provide leadership, vision, and passion in music worship ministries that is in line with the overall vision, purpose, and mission of FBCC.
• Lead in creating and implementing new worship opportunities, which align with the mission and vision. This skill will involve volunteer recruitment, administration, and management.
• Coordinate with the Senior Pastor to create and lead well-planned, engaging Sunday morning worship services – including recruiting and developing a worship team and preparing for and leading rehearsals.
• Work with Elders to develop and administer an annual budget for the worship ministry in accordance with the financial policies.
• Congregational participation is more important than production/performance. The church needs to be actively involved in leading worship. The worship pastor must be able to equip the church to engage in leading worship.
• Worship is participatory for ALL members, and the worship pastor must understand this responsibility.
• Must be theologically grounded. Does not necessarily have to have a seminary degree, but must lead worship that is grounded in the Word

• Must be able to engage multi-generational worshipers in authentic worship. Many differences/preferences fall along generational lines. For our church to continue to grow and reach our community for Christ, our biblically grounded worship must appeal to a younger generation while also leading mature individuals to authentic worship.

This skill relates to videos, social media, web streaming, lighting, and other technologies that aid in the worship of the church.
