A&M United Methodist Church: Director of Contemporary Worship

A&M United Methodist Church is seeking a gifted, spiritually mature, and collaborative Director of Contemporary Worship to lead and shape contemporary worship for our growing congregation. 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.

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.
