The Opportunity

Christ Fellowship is a healthy, growing church with a clear vision for reaching people and making disciples. Over the past several years, the church has experienced consistent year-over-year growth of approximately 15-20%, with current weekend attendance approaching 850 people. This momentum has created an exciting opportunity for a Worship Pastor who is energized by growth, passionate about building teams, and excited about helping shape the future of a multiplying church.

As Christ Fellowship continues to expand its reach through a campus strategy, the Worship Pastor will play a key role in developing worship systems, leaders, and culture that can scale across multiple locations. Future campuses may include revitalization partnerships with existing churches as well as opportunities in university communities. The ideal candidate will embrace the campus model and view church growth not as a challenge to manage, but as an opportunity to steward.

This role reports to the Executive Pastor while maintaining close collaboration with the Senior Pastor. Communication between worship leadership and senior leadership is highly valued, and the Worship Pastor will serve as a trusted ministry partner in shaping the overall weekend experience and advancing the church’s vision.
