Other Details

Living Water Community Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is looking for a new Worship and Creative Arts Pastor/Director. This person is responsible for envisioning, planning, developing, implementing, and leading a comprehensive God-glorifying, Gospel-centered, multi-ethnic ministry of music, prayer, and creative arts that ushers the church family into the presence of God and assists them in fulfilling the vision “to glorify God by developing a diverse family of fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ who reproduce that devotion in others.” He or she must love God, His church, and others and be a sacrificial servant leader who is able to lead and train others for the work of the ministry. They are not looking for a performer, rather, they are looking for someone with a shepherd’s heart.

What you’ll be doing:

• Providing oversight and direction to the various Worship and Creative Arts teams (e.g. worship teams, drama teams, choirs, ensembles, prayer, etc.) and the associated technical teams.
• Providing oversight and direction to the other ministry leaders whose ministries interact with the weekly worship service (e.g. greeters, ushers, etc.) in order to ensure a well-planned and God-honoring worship experience.
• Planning, developing, implementing, and directing weekly worship services that minister to people from various ethnic, socio-economic, and cultural backgrounds.
  • This includes, but is not limited to, the selection of music, dramas, videos, special vocal/musical performances, lighting, sound, streaming, décor, etc.

What skills you need to have:

• Possess a vision for worship and can clearly articulate that vision.
• Excellent leadership, motivational, and interpersonal skills.
• Possess a deep love for God and God’s people, a passion for worship, a vibrant prayer life, a teachable spirit, a heart of generosity, a team-player attitude, and a commitment and calling to the intentional development of a Gospel-centered, multi-ethnic ministry.
• Training, experience, and proficiency vocally and with a lead instrument.
