THE OPPORTUNITY

3Circle Church Midtown is seeking a full-time Pastor of Worship and Leadership Development who loves Jesus, develops people, builds healthy systems, and can help lead ministry in a genuinely multiethnic and multigenerational church.

We are looking for more than a strong musician or Sunday worship leader. We want a pastor, builder, and developer who can create a healthy worship culture, strengthen volunteer ministry, establish leadership pipelines, and help people grow as disciples and leaders.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead engaging, Christ-centered worship for Sunday gatherings and other campus events.
• Recruit, disciple, train, and develop worship team members and future worship leaders.
• Build a worship ministry that reflects the community's cultural and generational diversity.
• Plan services collaboratively with the Campus Pastor and other ministry leaders.
• Build dependable systems for scheduling, rehearsals, communication, music preparation, and volunteer care.
• Use Planning Center effectively for team scheduling, service planning, communication, and worship preparation.
• Prepare and utilize Ableton Live for tracks, click, cues, and other worship-production needs.
• Use ProPresenter effectively for lyrics, media, sermon content, and worship-service presentation.
• Shepherd worship team members spiritually and relationally.

Leadership Development & Volunteer Systems

• Build and strengthen a clear leadership pipeline that identifies, develops, and deploys new leaders throughout the church.
• Establish practical pathways for spiritual development and leadership development.
• Equip ministry leaders to disciple people, build teams, and reproduce leaders.
• Provide oversight and support for campus-wide volunteer systems, including recruitment, onboarding, training, scheduling, communication, and care.
• Strengthen systems that help people move from attending to serving, growing, and leading.
• Identify and empower existing leaders while intentionally developing the next generation of ministry leaders.
• Work with ministry leaders to build healthy, sustainable volunteer teams rather than relying on a small number of people.
• Participate fully in the overall ministry, mission, and staff life of the campus.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Spiritual & Theological

• A growing relationship with Jesus and character consistent with biblical leadership.
• Strong alignment with 3Circle Church's theology, mission, and values.
• Baptist-compatible theological convictions preferred.
• Commitment to evangelism, discipleship, missions, and the local church.

Leadership & Development

• Demonstrated experience building, rebuilding, or growing ministries and teams.
• Proven ability to identify, recruit, develop, and empower volunteers and leaders.
• Experience creating leadership pipelines or intentional pathways for discipleship and leadership development.
• Strong organizational, communication, and ministry systems skills.
• Ability to develop healthy systems while maintaining a relational and pastoral approach.
• A multiplication mindset that measures success by the development of other people—not simply personal performance.

Musical & Technical

• Strong vocal and instrumental leadership.
• Working knowledge of music theory, including keys, chord structures, arrangements, transitions, and vocal/instrumental parts.
• Proficiency with Planning Center, particularly scheduling and service planning.
• Proficiency with Ableton Live in a worship environment.
• Working proficiency with ProPresenter and church media presentation.
• Ability to prepare musicians and vocalists through clear charts, arrangements, rehearsal planning, and musical direction.

Worship & Culture

• Experience leading worship in a multiethnic and multigenerational environment strongly preferred.
• Ability to lead across musical styles and cultural backgrounds with humility and authenticity.
• Experience ministering in the South, or demonstrated ability to understand and engage Southern culture and relationships, preferred.

THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WILL THRIVE HERE

Someone who:

• Loves people as much as music.
• Thinks like a pastor, builder, and developer.
• Builds teams instead of simply filling positions.
• Sees potential in people and knows how to develop it.
• Creates simple, dependable systems that help ministry grow.
• Values both excellence and authenticity.
• Can honor different generations and cultures with humility.
• Takes initiative and enjoys building something.
• Wants to develop leaders rather than remain the center of the ministry.
• Believes worship, discipleship, serving, and leadership development should all help advance the mission of Jesus.
