Chandler and the surrounding East Valley offer one of the best environments in the country for individuals and families — highly rated schools, safe neighborhoods, suburban amenities, cultural diversity, and outdoor beauty.

Position Description

The Worship Pastor at Compass Christian Church will help cultivate, lead, and champion a vibrant, Spirit-led worship culture that reflects collaboration, creativity, musical excellence, and a pastoral heart. This role will report to the Creative Arts Director and serve as a member of a dynamic Creative Arts team, partnering closely with production, pastoral, and teaching teams to design worship experiences that are unified, meaningful, and aligned with series content.

The Worship Pastor will not only be a skilled vocalist and musician but also a shepherd-leader — someone who equips and mentors worship leaders, musicians, and next-generation talent, while fostering a humble team culture. The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative environment, values shared leadership, and brings fresh creative ideas to elevate worship services beyond routine or predictability.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Model pastoral leadership on and off stage while fostering a collaborative, co-lead worship culture.
  • Lead worship regularly and help shape cohesive, creative weekend services aligned with teaching content.
  • Develop, mentor, and shepherd staff, volunteers, and next-generation worship leaders.
  • Oversee team members, including the Staff Worship Leader, Music Director, and NextGen Worship Director.
  • Recruit, train, and equip musicians and vocalists while maintaining a healthy team culture.
  • Support and contribute to Compass Worship’s songwriting and recording initiatives.
  • Partner closely with Creative Arts and Production teams to elevate creativity and service excellence.
