Join us as our new Worship Leader as we seek to create a musical program that embodies our vision of being “a vibrant community, transforming lives in the heart of Danbury and beyond.” Central Christian Church is a small church located in downtown Danbury, Connecticut that practices inclusion and would be considered on the progressive end of the theological spectrum. Denominationally, Central is associated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the American Baptist Church.
The Worship Leader will be a Christian who loves a variety of music genres including but not limited to traditional hymns and contemporary praise and worship, enjoys performing individually as well as leading communal singing, and is able to create an atmosphere of celebration and reverence through musical expression. The Worship Leader will work closely with the Senior Minister to create the weekly Sunday worship experience. Along with leading worship, this individual will be responsible for selecting the music each week, organizing and communicating with other musicians, managing the musical budget, and finding ways to grow the music ministry within the church. This person must be available to work on Sunday mornings and on Christmas Eve, Maundy Thursday, and Easter Sunday.
Time Commitment and Benefits: This is a 10-12 hour/week salaried position ranging from $16,000 to $19,0000 per year depending on experience, as an annual contract that is automatically renewable. Medical and pension benefits are not offered for this position. We offer four weeks of vacation during the year. The Worship Leader will be expected to attend weekly planning meetings with the Senior Minister and other staff members as needed.
Education and Skills: We seek someone with previous experience leading worship and who has a working knowledge of various genres of Christian music. Some form of theological training is preferred but not required. This individual must be able to sing and the ability to play an instrument is a plus. We seek someone who is personable, creative, a self-starter and is comfortable using social media platforms.
To apply: please submit resume to rev.stephen@cccdanbury.org.
