Foster a culture of preparation, teamwork, accountability, excellence, and spiritual maturity.
Collaborate effectively with the Creative Arts Director and other ministry teams.

Leadership & Ministry Expectations

Demonstrate strong leadership, communication, organization, and follow-through.
Lead confidently while remaining teachable and responsive to ministry leadership.
Provide coaching and correction with clarity, patience, and respect.
Demonstrate dependability, punctuality, preparation, and professionalism.
Maintain a team-first, ministry-minded approach rather than an individual performance mindset.
Demonstrate a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and a lifestyle consistent with biblical Christian values.
Support the mission, vision, leadership, and culture of the church.
Demonstrate spiritual maturity, humility, integrity, discretion, and a servant's heart.
Understand that worship ministry is ministry first and music second.
