Job Description
Campus Worship Pastor (South Campus)
Full Time – 40hrs/ week
Focus of Position
The Campus Worship Pastor is to create an atmosphere in our services that points people to Jesus. The Campus Worship Pastor has a special responsibility to pray for and teach people about the truths of Jesus. This calling requires preparedness to proclaim the excellencies of Him (1 Peter 2:9) with excellence. The Campus Worship Pastor will strive to eliminate distractions through prayerful planning and preparation.
The elements of our services and music play a big role in how we express our worship of Jesus. Arguably an even bigger role is how we live when no one is watching. As a Brookstone Campus Worship Pastor it is vital to pursue personal holiness, private purity, because we believe worship is a whole-life response to Jesus for who He is and what He’s done. 1 Corinthians 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Essentials
The Word of God - The Word of God is the foundation of our team. Colossians 3:16 Letthe word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in allwisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your heartsto God.
Excellence - we are unashamed of our pursuit to constantly do things with excellence. 1Peter 2:9 Proclaim His excellencies, Psalm 33:3, play skillfully. Eliminate as manydistractions as possible. We pursue this so that our attention or the attention of thoseweare leading is not diverted from the substance of the songs due to a lack of preparedness.
Togetherness - We are a team and we strive for unity. We support each other. We talk toeach other, not about each other. 1 Thessalonians 5:11. Therefore encourage one anotherand build one another up, just as you are doing.
Development - Exodus 18:21 Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men whofear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people aschiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
