This full-time position provides leadership for the church's contemporary worship ministry while partnering with pastors, staff, volunteers, and musicians to create Christ-centered worship experiences that help people encounter God, grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, and be sent into the world to love and serve their neighbors. We believe worship is one of the primary ways disciples are formed. Through music, Scripture, prayer, and the arts, we seek to create worship experiences that are biblically grounded, reflective of our United Methodist/Wesleyan theology, musically excellent, and spiritually transformative. Worship at A&M UMC is intentionally collaborative, bringing together pastors, staff, musicians, and volunteers to create meaningful experiences that invite people of every generation into the presence of God. This is a unique opportunity to help shape worship in a thriving, multi-generational church where children, youth, college students, young adults, families, and retirees worship side by side each week. Beyond leading worship on Sunday mornings, the Director of Contemporary Worship will help cultivate a culture of worship that forms disciples, develops leaders, and equips people of all ages to discover and use their gifts. From partnering with children's, youth, and college ministries to mentoring the next generation of worship leaders, this role offers the opportunity to influence the worship life of the entire church. Key Responsibilities: Worship Leadership Lead the church’s Sunday morning contemporary worship service (currently at 9:45 a.m.) and special worship experiences throughout the year, including worship opportunities that extend beyond the church and engage the wider community. Provide musical leadership, coaching, and mentorship for Kids of Praise Children’s Choir and Youth Worship on Sunday evenings and College Worship on Thursday evenings, partnering with ministry leaders to develop participants as musicians and worship leaders. Collaborate with the pastoral staff to plan worship that complements Scripture, sermon series, the liturgical calendar, and the overall vision of the church. Select music that is biblically grounded, reflective of our United Methodist/Wesleyan theology, spiritually engaging, and accessible to people from a variety of Christian backgrounds. Lead rehearsals that cultivate both musical excellence and spiritual formation. Partner with the Director of Media & Technology to design worship environments that thoughtfully integrate music, media, lighting, and visual elements in support of the worship experience. Collaborate with the Director of Media & Technology to ensure worship planning and production work seamlessly together while respecting each ministry's unique leadership responsibilities. Recruit, mentor, equip, and shepherd instrumentalists, vocalists, and emerging worship leaders. Invest intentionally in developing children, youth, college students, and adults as worship leaders, musicians, vocalists, and servant leaders. Create clear pathways for volunteers to grow spiritually, musically, and as leaders in worship ministry. Foster a worship ministry culture marked by humility, encouragement, excellence, joy, and collaboration.

Qualifications We are looking for someone who sees worship as an integral part of forming disciples of Jesus Christ. The ideal candidate loves people as much as music, values teamwork over individual recognition, and finds joy in helping others discover and use their God-given gifts.

A passion for mentoring volunteers and developing future worship leaders across generations. The ability to lead worship and teams with humility, authenticity, creativity, and excellence. Strong organizational, planning, and communication skills. A collaborative leadership style with the ability to work effectively across multiple ministry areas.
