($35,000- $75,000)
About the Church: Bethel Baptist Church was founded in 1949 in Escondido, CA. Through many years of growth and location changes, Bethel Baptist in 1970 purchased 15 acers of land and built facilities at its current location.
We envision being a multicultural community of faith as we grow and serve within our congregation, while also reaching out and both serving and witnessing to the community around us. We are now seeking our next pastor or music director whom God has prepared to lead Bethel Baptist into its next season of ministry. He or she should have the conviction that God has placed a calling in their life to minister at Bethel Baptist and whose passions align with Bethel’s requirements and expectations.
About the Position: We are in search of a music pastor (male) or a director of music (male or female). The position, whether a pastor or director, will manage the church's praise ministry and will report to the Lead Pastor. He/she will help to minister to the church by leading worship services that are gospel centered in their passion, theologically rich in their presentation, excellent in their musical proficiency, and consistent with the mission and vision of Bethel Baptist.
Our Heart for Worship: When we gather, we are setting our minds attention and hearts affections on the Lord, praising the Lord for who He is and what He has done. When we worship, we are not trying to please the audience, our aim is to please God. He has given us instruction in His Word as to the parameters or guidelines that please Him; we want our worship to be directed by Scripture. We are to be as purposeful about the songs we sing as we are about the sermons we preach.
