Contemporary/Celebration Worship Leader

As an established community congregation, we are prayerfully seeking an individual to help us build upon our increasing popular weekly Intergenerational Celebration Worship Service. We are looking for a collaborative, visionary, action-oriented faith leader who excels at leading and bringing to life engaging worship and discipleship experiences.

Currently our celebration service attracts and serves both families and individuals by providing them with a less traditional, more interactive, worship opportunity while still balancing the elements of the traditional United Methodist worship. We are looking to add to that experience with live contemporary and traditional music, innovative experiences, & hands on opportunities that will create an even more engaging and inclusive faith experience.
