Job details

*Position Overview* Priory Park Baptist Church (PPBC) seeks a part-time Worship Director to enrich our Sunday worship service. The purpose of PPBC is to build a loving community, follow Jesus as his disciples, and advance his mission to bring his good news to the world. We therefore seek someone with musical and leadership skills who can build teams and empower the skills of others so that we might develop a compelling and Spirit-led worship ministry that gives glory to God and inspires our congregation to deepen their faith in him. *Church Vision* Our church is passionate about bringing the saving message of Jesus to the city of Guelph through community, discipleship, and mission! We are currently in a season of revitalization that has been bringing a great number of newcomers and a feeling of excitement from the renewed vision for our church. We aim to be a welcoming and intentional church where we can meet people where they are at and invite them to experience the awe and wonder of God who is alive and active in our world. Lord willing, we will see lives changed as more and more people dedicate their lives to God and his Kingdom. Having been touched by the love of God, his saving grace, and the forgiveness of sins, we aim to build a dynamic leadership team of like-minded individuals who can contribute the gifts God has given them to a ministry marked by joy and excitement for what our Lord is doing through us. To God be the glory! *Qualifications* * Experience musically leading worship services in a contemporary style with a blend of songs from different eras. * Musically skilled in vocals and in a musical instrument capable of leading a worship service (e.g., guitar, piano, keyboard). * Competent (or able to quickly learn and gain competency) in audio & video production tools (e.g., sound boards, microphones, computers, TV screens, video cameras, HDMI & XLR cables, PowerPoint).

Therefore, while the Worship Director is ultimately accountable for the responsibilities of the role, the Worship Director will strive for the following goals: * Equip volunteers so that ministry tasks do not necessarily need to be performed by the Worship Director themselves. * Spend more time developing the ministry than performing tasks. * Empower others to be the ?front person? on Sunday mornings while remaining in a support role. *Responsibilities* * Coordinate the production of the weekly Sunday worship service and special services (e.g., Christmas Eve, Good Friday, Ash Wednesday) alongside the Lead Pastor. * Lead the Music Ministry by recruiting, training, and coaching volunteers and fostering the ongoing development of the ministry. * Oversee the scheduling of the volunteers through Planning Center. * Ensure the quality of our worship music is growing by ensuring worship bands are rehearsing and developing their individual skill. We do not expect the music quality to be flawless or professional. We hope to be a church where people of varying skill levels can contribute their musical gifts. However, we do support the existence of reasonable musical standards to ensure ou
