PASTOR -FULL TIME

Job Description The Church
We are a diverse, growing community of around 1200 people in San Antonio ,Tx. who take worship seriously and don't take ourselves too seriously. We're looking for a Worship Arts Pastor to help us keep meeting God together, week after week.

This is a full-time pastoral role. You'll lead the people, the planning, and the musical and creative vision behind our weekend worship experience. You'll partner closely with our Creative Arts Director, who oversees Sunday production, so the two of you can deliver services that are both musically strong and well produced. It also means being a pastor: caring for people, shaping spiritual formation, and helping a room full of worshipers grow in their journey.

You will provide direction and support to the Creative Arts Director on worship and service execution, and you lead the worship team and its volunteers. Your work week runs Sunday through Thursday.
