King's Church

Worship Director

Lee's Summit,
Missouri
King’s Church is hiring a Worship Director to lead people into the presence of God while building a strong, healthy worship culture rooted in excellence, authenticity, and discipleship. This role is for a skilled worship leader who also feels called to shepherd others, raise up new leaders, and build systems that sustain spiritual and musical growth. The Worship Director will report to the Lead Pastor and oversee all worship bands, production teams, and the pipeline for future worship leaders and musicians-aligning worship with the church’s mission to reach, disciple, and send.

Why I Love This Opportunity

“King’s Church is experiencing a genuine move of God-21 salvations in the last 6 weeks, explosive growth, and a congregation full of faith and expectancy. This isn’t just a worship leader position; it’s a chance to build something from the ground up in a church that’s young, hungry, and full of momentum. You’ll step into a family-oriented community in one of the best places to raise kids, surrounded by a staff culture that values mission over job titles and impact over status. If you’re a leader who loves developing people, thrives in a growing environment, and wants to be part of a church that’s planting churches and reaching the lost, this is your opportunity to help shape a movement that’s just getting started.”

  • Theologically aligned: comfortable in a Word-and-Spirit, complementarian environment and committed to partnering with pastoral leadership

About This Organization

King’s Church is a Spirit-led, gospel-centered, Word-driven Church that is passionate about seeking out and helping people who are far from God become fully devoted followers of Jesus. Located in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, King’s Church was planted in April 2021 with a team of 35 people who shared a vision to reach the lost, to make disciples of Christ, and to plant churches. By God’s grace, that team has grown to over 350 people in just four years. Living out Colossians 2:6-7, the church is asking God to strengthen them in every way, to be equipped and sent out in every direction, so they might build deeper in every area and send out many more people in the years ahead. In 2026, King’s Church will plant its first church in North Kansas City.

King’s Church is known in the community for being bold in the gospel, pursuing life in the Spirit, warmly welcoming others, and living out a commitment to the “least of these”. This commitment includes church ministries to refugees, the unborn, children with special needs, women victimized in sex trafficking, and foster care/adoption initiatives. With an average weekend attendance of 375, the church is experiencing 30% year-over-year growth, and 21 people have made decisions for Jesus in the past six weeks alone. There’s a faith in the room right now that’s hard to describe.

King’s Church is elder-led and staff-directed. The current team includes a Lead Pastor and Executive Pastor, along with a King’s Kids Director, Students Director, Communications Director, and Facilities Director. As a Word and Spirit Church, King’s is unapologetically complementarian, believing men are called by God to be humble servant-leaders in the home and church. The congregation is predominantly comprised of young families (average age 30-40, with children from birth through 12th grade), followed by young professionals and empty-nesters.

Located within a suburb of Kansas City, the church serves a population of young professionals and young families who desire a strong community in which to put down roots and build a future life. It’s a place known for raising families, with beautiful parks and excellent schools.

Location

“My wife and I moved across the country from Northern Idaho to join King’s Church, and Lee’s Summit has truly become home. We have built lifelong friendships, grown to love the community we’re part of, and the place where we live. Our son is only four weeks old, and we couldn’t be more excited about raising him with these people and in this place. There are beautiful parks, great schools, and a community centered around raising families.”
