Worship Leader

Do you have contemporary worship arts calling? Sagebrush Church is searching for up-and-coming worship leaders to work with a dynamic group of musicians and artists in the beautiful State of New Mexico. We are specifically seeking someone comfortable leading weekend services from our largest location called Riverside.

Imagine working in an environment that gives you plenty of time to prepare for rehearsals and weekend services. And our worship culture has defined clear ways to win; they’re resourced well, and there is no need to worry or stress about planning a weekend set.

Our worship culture also provides opportunities for studio work, video shoots, and collabs with others on crafting worship experiences for our in-person and online services, and our Sagebrush School of Music.

To be a part of this amazing ministry, you’ll need to have a strong vocal talent, perform well in multiple genres, musical styles, and abilities, and be comfortable singing harmony and melody. Lastly, you'll need to bring a strong instrumental talent, preferably guitar and/or keys.

Check out our stream or Sagebrush Music on YouTube to learn more about us. If you feel called to lead worship and would enjoy this opportunity, send in your resume and two samples of yourself singing and playing an instrument, but don't stress over it. Recording yourself at home on your couch is preferred. The song selection is up to you; share songs you enjoy performing.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Create an exciting and welcoming worship culture where attendees want to bring their friends to build community with us.
• Lead thought-provoking and passionate communication from the platform/stage, ensuring an uplifting weekend experience for every attendee.
• Actively recruit musicians, plug them into the worship pipeline (auditions), and create a vibrant culture for them to thrive, grow as a musician, and volunteer time and time again.
• Tend to the campus team's and volunteers' spiritual needs, encouraging discipleship and growth.
• Provide guidance, sound decision-planning, and oversight to a volunteer team of musicians and artists.
• Follow up and provide ongoing care to a team of campus musicians providing worship updates, community initiatives, and training.
• Be active in the campus ministry and share your ideas for bringing people together through outreach, community events, and social activities. This helps people move from casual attendees to fully-devoted followers of Christ.
• Champion the importance of small groups and assist attendees/musicians in assimilating into group life.

QUALIFICATIONS

• A dynamic and growing relationship with Christ, and enjoy a Jesus-focused way of life.
• Thrive in an environment that moves quickly and love the idea of reaching one more for Christ.
• If you have experience leading or performing in a church, we would love to see that. But, don’t stress if you don’t.
• Education involving music theory is recommended. In lieu of education, 1-3 years of experience is nice to have.
• Bring your natural ability to connect quickly and encourage people to worship together.
• Have a heart for teaching and developing others to grow in their musical abilities.
• Bring hands-on knowledge of AbletonLive, ProPresenter, and Planning Center Online.
• Flexibility with your schedule and don’t mind accommodating special church events.
