MPC exists to SHOW PEOPLE WHO JESUS IS. This means every person we hire must have a heart to reach lost people and a love for the Church. God is writing an unlikely story here in the Midwest and we deeply believe God is readying His Church for a historic movement that brings glory to HIS name alone.
The Worship Pastor will help fulfill MP’s vision by leading the Worship teams, processes, and projects. This includes developing and leading the staff and teams responsible for weekend services and special events. He/she is also responsible for keeping MP’s worship elements innovative, intentional, engaging, and transformational. Every weekend is someone’s first time to MP, and it might be our only chance to show them who Jesus is. Therefore, we will prepare and program as their life depends on it.
