Worship Leader​/Music Director Stanford Baptist Church

Position Description

Worship Leader / Music Director (Part Time)

God has used Stanford Baptist since 1851 to reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus while growing its congregation in faith and love. We currently have a vacancy for our worship leader. The role is part of an ongoing transition until a suitable long‑term minister is brought in. We worship to contemporary music, with occasional hymns and bell play. The ideal candidate will lead the congregation in contemporary music in the style of K‑LOVE or Air‑1 and will prefer someone who can sing and play keyboard or guitar.

The candidate will also be responsible for the audio/visual team both in‑house and online, and for maintaining the worship team.

• Lead music at all scheduled services.
• Plan worship services in conjunction with the Pastor.
• Praise‑Worship Team practice or Direct Adult Choir.
• Act as a consultant for other music leaders, including handbells and children’s choir leaders.
• Plan and coordinate the music budget.
• Plan and lead the special music projects.
• Be responsible for having a musician at all church services, events, and conferences.

Pay is negotiable, ranging from $15,000 to $20,000 depending on factors. There is an optional co‑leader option where an additional paid co‑leader can be brought in under the same budget.
