Westside Community Church

Worship Pastor

Bloomington, Indiana

Why I Love This Opportunity

Brian Nelson

Associate

I love Westside because when I went to visit, I only wanted to join this staff. They are a blast, and they’re growing like crazy. They just became independent last year and have increased up to 650 people. They have a new building going up, and their ideas for the future are incredible. This group works hard and plays hard.

I believe it’s an amazing job, with a good team of musicians and singers ready to be led. The church is about to explode…in a good way! You will be able to grow with the church—a big opportunity for anyone looking to pour themselves into their calling.

About This Organization

Westside Community Church is awesome! It’s a booming church in the beautiful city of Bloomington, IN. They’ve grown to 650 people in about five years, with no star figure or silo ministry. It’s simply an entire church working together to spread the gospel. A new building is being built on thirty acres of property, and the  future is bright.

Westside has an amazing staff who care deeply for their people. They love what they do and who they work with. They believe God is doing mighty work in their midst and staying faithful to their lives’ call.

Now, they are looking for someone to take on a leadership role over their worship and production teams. Someone to lead their people to the throne each weekend. Someone to lock arms with them as they run into the future. It’s truly an amazing opportunity. Keep reading and learn more.

Position Description

The Worship Pastor position is a chance to serve Westside’s growing community and lead the church into excellent worship experiences. They’re looking for someone with a great track record of leading both volunteer and staff teams. They currently have a strong team and need someone to take them to the next level. You will need to lead worship, organize the music, build the tracks, develop the team, and oversee production.

The church is moving from a somewhat portable location to a new building in the next year. We believe it will reach 1000 people very soon, even just by opening a new place. This is a big position and one that will develop even more in the years ahead.

  • Display a Christlike lifestyle in the church and in the community
  • Display a willingness to serve with the staff as needs arise with an “All for one, one for all” attitude
  • Oversee the worship experience on Sunday morning services
  • Lead worship, select music suitable for congregational singing, recruit and oversee volunteer musicians
  • Work in partnership with the Lead Pastor to develop service plans including all aspects of the worship experience
  • Working through creative ideas and problem-solving
  • Covering aspects of pastoral care, especially as it relates to the worship team volunteers
  • Oversee worship and production teams

What a Strong Candidate Would Look Like:

  • Authentic & Humble – not a rock star wanting the spotlight; same on stage as off.
  • Relational Teambuilder – a person who loves people; cares for the team and the church; builds a strong team of volunteers; discipler of people.
  • Collaborative – this church works as a team; there is no job below the staff; everyone is in it together; no silo ministries; flexible.
  • Worship Excellence – bring passion to our weekly services; quality voice and musicianship; able to lead a team toward excellence; not perfect, but going for the best we can.
