Worship and Media Arts Pastor

SUMMIT CHURCH

Lincoln, California

Full-Time or Part-Time | Based on Experience & Qualifications

Summit Church has been a part of the Lincoln community for over 30 years. As Lincoln continues to grow into one of the most vibrant cities in the Sacramento region, we are being re-introduced to our city — and we are more excited than ever. Our mission is simple and bold: to live, help, and love like Jesus.

We believe worship is more than music — it is a gateway that invites people into a more personal encounter and connection with God. We are looking for someone who shares that conviction and wants to build something meaningful with us.

This is a special and rewarding opportunity for a gifted worshiper and creative leader to shape the full Sunday experience at Summit Church. As our Worship & Media Arts Pastor/Director, you will lead a team of over 30 dedicated volunteers, oversee all audio/visual and media production, and pastor people toward greater intimacy with God — all in one role.

Whether this is a full-time or part-time position will be shaped around you — your experience, your availability, and what you bring to the table. We want the right person, and we are willing to build the role to fit.

• Craft weekly services in Pro Presenter — including song lyrics, message notes, announcement slides, lighting cues, and video countdowns.
• Create videos and graphical content using Adobe Creative Suite and Canva.
• Plan and lead an engaging, Jesus-centered weekly gathering that moves people toward honoring God with excellence and authenticity.

• Recruit, audition, train, and pastor volunteer musicians and vocalists.
• Lead Sunday morning rehearsals with both excellence and empathy.
• Shepherd team members through personal challenges and disciple both worship and production teams toward greater spiritual maturity.
• Cultivate a team culture that is spiritually life-giving, relationally healthy, and creatively excellent.

• Partner with the Tech Director and camera switcher (producer) to ensure sound, lighting, and media create an appropriate atmosphere for worship.
• Oversee all audio/visual elements of the Sunday service — audio, video, lighting, and Pro Presenter.
• Set up and manage lighting cues using Daslight 5.
• Operate and direct Canon camera systems (C200, C100, EOS R).

• Edit sermon videos and sermon shorts for the church's social media platforms.
• Design You Tube thumbnails and other graphics using Photoshop and/or Canva.
• Maintain Elvanto (service management platform), coordinate monthly schedules for the Worship & Media team, and keep the team informed on direction and upcoming events.
• Create chord charts and manage music resources for the team.

We are looking for someone who checks most of these boxes — and is humble and hungry to grow in the rest:

• Proficiency in leading worship while playing an instrument.
• Ability to lead with in‑ear monitors and backing tracks.
• Solid working knowledge of music theory.
• Strong communication skills for giving clear musical and production direction.
• Ability to create chord charts in Elvanto, Planning Center, or an equivalent platform.

• Proficiency with the current version of Pro Presenter.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere or equivalent video editing software.
• Competency with Adobe Audition, Audacity, or another audio editing program.
• Competency in designing graphics and thumbnails using Photoshop and/or Canva.
• Experience working with Canon camera systems.
• Experience setting up and programming lighting cues (Daslight 5 or similar).
• Basic CSS/HTML knowledge is a helpful bonus — but not required.

• You love Jesus and are deeply committed to personal spiritual growth.
• You are a pastor at heart — not just a musician or technician. You care about people.
• You lead with humility, inviting collaboration and sharing the spotlight.
• You bring energy and vision, while remaining flexible and team‑oriented.
• You are organized, reliable, and take initiative without needing to be micromanaged.
• You thrive in a creative environment and bring fresh ideas while honoring what is working.

This position is open to full-time or part-time arrangements. Hours, compensation, and structure will be tailored to the experience, education, and qualifications of the right candidate. We are committed to building something that works well for the right person and the mission of Summit Church.
