Lake Church is a Southern Baptist congregation in Arlington, Texas, right in the heart of the DFW Metroplex. The mission is simple: Glorify God. Pursue People. They describe themselves as “an imperfect people… walking with one another,” humbled to worship a perfect God and committed to discipling one another through real, missional community — not a spectator kind of church.
That mission shows up in five core values they call their “five hills”: Pray (covering every member and the city in prayer), Disciple (walking alongside kids and families for the long haul), Hospitality (becoming known as the community’s home), Transform (strengthening the city through business, jobs, and education), and Plant (investing in starting new churches).
Doctrinally, they hold to the Baptist Faith and Message (2000), with a clear commitment to Scripture, the Trinity, salvation through Christ, and baptism and the Lord’s Supper as their two ordinances.
A Church Connected to the Community
Beyond Sunday mornings, Lake Church runs life-stage ministries, care ministry, life groups, and local and global missions — and has helped launch community-facing partners like a counseling center, a sports and rec ministry, a learning academy, and a school for faith and the arts. It’s a church that takes both gathering and sending seriously — which is the environment a new worship pastor would be stepping into.
Worship Pastor’s primary responsibility is to assist the Lead Pastor in the worship ministries of the church. This person must be skilled in the area of band leadership and have a strong desire to mentor and train young worship leaders. The Worship Pastor’s secondary role is to lead in areas that directly relate to all creative elements of the church. This person must have a heart for creativity and the ability to carry out the look and feel of the church. Creating environments (audio, visual, design, etc…) that facilitate worshipful experiences and engaging environments are part of this role. This position also helps provide leadership to all aspects of the church that lead the congregation to encounter God in a creative, relevant manner consistent with the stated purpose, vision and strategy of the church.
