The Worship Director will shepherd and develop our worship and tech ministry teams, planning weekly gatherings that are Biblically faithful, musically accessible, and focused on glorifying God rather than performance. We are looking for someone with a deep love for the local church, a passion for worship ministry, and a creative spirit that is both innovative and theologically grounded.

• Lead weekly rehearsals and prepare teams for Sunday services.
• Provide clear leadership and direction for the AVL (Audio/Video/Lighting) team.
• Communicate schedules, setlists, and expectations clearly and consistently.
• Help plan and support special services, events, and church-wide gatherings as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading worship with multiple teams and/or services.
• Experience providing direction to A/V or production teams (without the expectation to run tech).
• Familiarity with Planning Center or similar worship/production planning tools.

Character & Theology

• Gospel-centered, humble, and teachable.
• Meets the biblical character qualifications for church leadership (1 Timothy 3; Titus 1).
• Demonstrates a healthy home life and faithfulness in marriage and family leadership.
• Theologically aligned with Lighthouse Church and affirms our Statement of Faith.
• Holds strong convictions on essential doctrines while showing charity on secondary issues.
