Job description

Lake Ridge is a growing community shaped around the life and mission of Jesus. We long to be a church where worship is not an event, it’s a way of being. We are becoming a people rooted in Jesus, formed slowly in community, and committed to offering beauty for the sake of our neighbours. We’re searching for a Worship Arts Pastor to help us cultivate this life.

Who You Are

• You love Jesus deeply and yearn for worship to be a tangible expression of adoration.
• You see worship as spiritual formation, not performance.
• You believe a community of artists can shepherd souls.
• You treasure beauty as a doorway to encounter.
• You know that creativity can be prayer.

This is not simply a music role. It’s a pastoral invitation to curate a worshiping culture, one that is deepening, intentional, and spacious.

Your Heart

You are a worship leader and a pastor.

• Your first love is Jesus, and you long for his Kingdom to come.
• You carry a tenderness for people and delight in helping them express their heart-song
• You are rooted in Scripture and cherish the richness of our spiritual heritage.
• You love to make things that are true and beautiful.
• You are not in a hurry, but value patient urgency.

Your Work With Us

Worship

• Gently steward the worship life of our whole community, shaping gatherings that form us in the story of Christ, bridging divides and inviting a diverse community into life together.
• Lead our music team with warmth and humility, inviting participation over performance.
• Collaborate with pastoral leadership and serve as a key voice to shape our creative and liturgical life.

Arts

• Cultivate a creative community—nurturing musicians, artists, storytellers, and sound technicians in both craft and soul.

Marketing

• Let your creative heart set the tone for our communications.
• Guide our brand, website, social media, and publications with clarity and beauty. This work involves planning, preparation, and stewardship. You love to see things through.

What You Bring

• A heart that knows “Christ in me.”
• Skill in leading worship with voice, instrument, and band
• A pastor’s warmth and a creator’s imagination
• Experience guiding volunteers who serve from the heart
• Thoughtfulness about liturgy, Scripture, and spiritual formation
• A desire to root yourself here, with us

Training in theology, worship, music, and the arts is welcome. Experience with marketing and nurturing an arts collective is a gift. If your journey has been more winding, and your background weaves together threads from many disciplines, we also see that as a strength. You will need to pursue ministerial credentialing in the Evangelical Covenant Church in Canada. We will walk with you in that.

The Details

• Full-time (35 hours/week)
• Salary is based on experience and education
• Hybrid work model: Tuesdays in-office
• Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Check required
