C3 Tri-Cities

Associate Worship Pastor

Richland,
Washington
C3 is looking for an Associate Worship Pastor. This person will serve C3 by serving alongside the Worship Pastor to lead the congregation into authentic, Christ-centered worship while helping build and strengthen every aspect of the worship ministry.

Why We Love This Opportunity

I love this opportunity because it is a healthy church in a beautiful area of Washington. C3 is rapidly growing and the leadership is really pursuing what God wants for the congregation and the area. They lean into the movement of God and the gifts of the Spirit, seeking for God to show up in all His ways. In addition, the area where the church is located has a large airport, lots of big businesses, tons of activities for families and stays beautiful year round. This is a great chance for the right leader to thrive at a healthy church, in a healthy area of the country.

A great match for this position would be:

  • Dynamic Platform Leadership and Musicality: Someone with strong vocal and instrumental proficiency (guitar or piano) who can engage any room and lead the congregation into authentic, Christ-centered worship.
  • People Developer and Leadership Multiplication:  Ability to recruit, disciple, and coach musicians and vocalists while actively identifying and raising up future worship leaders from within the church.
  • Worship Technology and Systems Execution: Someone who is technically proficient in modern worship tools (Planning Center, Playback, etc) and capable of building, managing, and executing multitrack playback and service flows.
  • Service Alignment and Pastoral Flow: Ability to collaborate with pastoral leadership to curate Spirit-led worship sets aligned with sermon themes, while providing a pastoring presence for teams on and off stage.
  • Creative Culture and Songwriting Cultivation: Someone who can foster a creative environment by facilitating songwriting gatherings and partnering with production teams to capture, record, and release original church content.

 

About This Organization

C3 Tri-Cities is a rapidly growing church in the heart of Washington. God has been moving in powerful ways in the church and in the city. They have seen incredible growth in all areas over the last couple of years. They are growing at such a pace that they need an associate worship pastor to help continue the growth of the church.  

Columbia Community Church, known as C3 Tri-Cities, began in the 1940s and has grown into a thriving ministry that is pursuing the presence of God, transformation by the Truth, the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and freedom for the lost.

From innovative approaches like drive-in services in the early years to a preschool that serves the community today, C3 has always leaned into creativity and outreach. By 2019, attendance peaked at 2,000. Today, with around 1,500–1,700 attending weekly, C3 is rebuilding momentum, staff culture, and discipleship pathways for the next chapter. The church is board-protected and senior pastor-directed, and emphasizes intentionality, transparency, and staff care.
