Job description

MinistryHub is honored to partner with Gospel Baptist Church in their search for a Worship Pastor. Please direct all applications through MinistryHub and any inquiries to [e-mail].

• Are you a worship pastor who loves Christ, loves the local church, and believes worship is about far more than music?
• Do you have the musical ability, pastoral maturity, and relational wisdom to lead a multigenerational church in worship that is biblical, reverent, joyful, and congregational?
• Are you excited to help a growing church make and mature disciples in its neighborhood and the nations?

About Gospel Baptist Church

Gospel Baptist Church exists to make and mature disciples in our neighborhood and the nations. Located in northern Greensboro, Gospel is a growing, multigenerational church with a heart for faithful preaching, loving community, intentional outreach, Christ-centered worship, and gospel impact both locally and globally.

Over the past couple years, Gospel has experienced significant growth and momentum, averaging around 500 people on Sunday mornings across two worship services. Gospel is a Southern Baptist-aligned church with a strong commitment to expositional preaching, biblical authority, missions, and discipleship. This is a dynamic and growing church on mission to make and mature disciples for the glory of God.

The Opportunity

Gospel Baptist Church is seeking a full-time Worship Pastor to lead, shepherd, and strengthen the worship ministry of the church. This role is not simply about planning songs or leading music. It is a pastoral leadership role focused on helping the congregation worship God with reverence, joy, biblical depth, and active participation.

The Worship Pastor will work closely with the Senior Pastor and staff to plan and lead worship services that exalt Christ, support the preaching of God’s Word, encourage believers, and proclaim the gospel. Gospel currently offers two Sunday morning worship services with different musical expressions: a Blended Worship Service led by a worship leader, choir, piano, and instrumental ensemble, and a Modern Worship Service led by a worship leader, vocal team, and worship band.

The right candidate will be able to lead well in both environments, navigate a multigenerational congregation with humility and emotional intelligence, and develop a healthy worship culture where volunteers are equipped, and the congregation is encouraged in worship.

Primary Responsibilities

Worship Leadership and Service Planning

• Plan and lead Sunday morning worship services and special services with reverence, passion, excellence, and theological care.
• Lead worship in both blended and modern worship environments, helping each service remain biblically faithful, congregationally accessible, and aligned with Gospel’s mission.
• Select songs that are biblically accurate, theologically sound, gospel-centered, and appropriate for congregational worship.
• Work closely with the Senior Pastor to plan services that support the sermon theme, prepare hearts for the preaching of God’s Word, and point people to Christ.
• Lead the congregation in worship both vocally and instrumentally, including through piano and guitar.
• Help cultivate worship services that are not performance-driven, but centered on the glory of God, the edification of the church, and the clear proclamation of the gospel.

Worship Team Development and Discipleship

• Recruit, train, schedule, encourage, and shepherd worship ministry volunteers.
• Lead worship rehearsals with preparation, clarity, prayer, encouragement, and spiritual intentionality.
• Disciple musicians, vocalists, and worship leaders toward spiritual maturity, humility, faithfulness, teachability, and excellence.
• Build a worship ministry culture marked by unity, preparation, accountability, and joy.
• Help volunteers understand that worship leadership is both musical service and spiritual leadership.
• Navigate generational preferences and strong opinions with wisdom, diplomacy, humility, and emotional intelligence.

Musical and Technical Leadership

• Lead worship both solo and with a band.
• Ideally comfortable on both piano and guitar, with the skill needed to lead both contemporary and traditional worship environments.
• Provide leadership for worship arrangements, transitions, rehearsal preparation, and musical direction.
• Maintain working knowledge of worship-related audio/visual technology, including tools such as ProPresenter, in-ear monitors, editing/uploading, and related systems.
• Collaborate well with existing AV/tech leadership while bringing enough technical understanding to support effective worship ministry.

Staff Collaboration and Churchwide Ministry

• Work with the Senior Pastor and staff to shepherd the church and support the overall vision and direction of Gospel Baptist Church.
• Participate in staff meetings, planning rhythms, and ministry collaboration.
• Serve as a full-time member of the ministry team with a willingness to support other ministry needs as able and gifted.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will be a pastorally mature worship leader who loves Jesus, loves the local church, and is passionate about leading people to worship God in spirit and truth.

• Meets the biblical qualifications for pastoral leadership found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:6-9, and 1 Peter 5:1-3.
• Has a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and a life marked by spiritual maturity, humility, integrity, and teachability.
• Agrees with Gospel Baptist Church’s purpose, mission, values, and statement of faith.
• Demonstrates the ability to lead worship with reverence, passion, clarity, and excellence.
• Can lead confidently in both blended and modern worship environments.
• Able to sing and play both piano and guitar for worship leadership.
• Has leadership ability to manage and develop volunteers, leaders, and ministry teams.
• Demonstrates high emotional intelligence, strong communication skills, and the ability to lead across generations.
• Has working knowledge of worship technology and the ability to collaborate with AV/tech volunteers and leaders.
• Brings a successful track record of previous ministry or worship leadership experience.
• Master’s degree in worship, music, ministry, theology, or a related field preferred; candidates with a bachelor’s degree who are pursuing or open to pursuing further theological or ministry education may also be considered.

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $60,000-$70,000, based on experience and qualifications.

Benefits include paid time off, health insurance, retirement benefits, phone stipend, and continuing education support.
