Worship Arts Pastor

Monte Vista Chapel

Turlock, CA

Monte Vista Chapel is a non-denominational church in the Central Valley of California. Over the past fifteen years, we have transitioned from an attractional to a formational model of ministry. We define Spiritual Formation as “our ongoing response to God’s grace, shaping us into the likeness of Jesus, through the work of the Holy Spirit, in the community of believers, for the sake of the world.” It is through our lifelong commitment to Spiritual Formation that we live out our vision of “Christ in us, Christ through us.” More than a music leader, MVC is looking for a ‘Chief Liturgist’ who will shepherd the congregation through the church calendar by providing opportunities (music, prayer, sacrament, spiritual exercise, etc.) for them to corporately ‘bump into Jesus.’ While Sunday Services are a significant place for this to happen, we do not want to limit these opportunities to one specific time of the week. Responsibilities: - Shepherd and equip the arts and music team members in leadership of formational corporate worship gatherings to embody the vision and mission of MVC. - Shepherd a team culture of care, belonging, creativity and hospitality. - Schedule Volunteer Music teams (and facilitate subs if needed) for Sunday Morning music using Planning Center Services. - Coordinate with weekly leaders to provide resources and shepherd the planning process. - Curate new song materials and update changes to current playlist materials as MVC arrangements develop. - Manage licensing / reporting requirements for music - Plan and facilitate seasonal decorations within the Worship Center to support the seasons of the church calendar. - Plan and lead or equip volunteers to plan and lead festival services including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day (when on Sunday), Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. - Coordinate with other staff for special events and seasonal events when needed. - Maintain awareness of congregational need for special services (prayer, celebration, reflection, etc. - Oversee Technical Director (30+ hours per week) - Oversee Worship Arts Budget The Worship Arts Pastor is a direct report to the Senior Pastor.
