REQUIREMENTS:
Applicants should have a solid and developed understanding of music and theory that is evident in not only the planning phase but in the leading of musicians in practice. Preferred applicants would have 2+ years experience as a worship director in a similar capacity (250+ in attendance) working with a multi-staff team. Though not required, a bachelors degree or higher is preferred.

INSIGHT INTO THE SPECIFICS:
CCC’s current musical setting consists of the following: We currently have two identical worship services that focus more on worship than style – so some form of blended (leaning contemporary) would be the best description. There is a high level of diverse talent with current musicians/ abilities including drummers, guitarists, keys, mandolin, etc. CCC is a kind of hybrid church in that she is in a rural setting (town of around 2,500) but with more attendees than typical rural churches – she draws from the whole county (especially the neighboring town of Richmond which has a population of 35,000+). She is an established church with a strong and positive community presence through service and compassion – especially in the local schools. She has recently hired a new student minister (2023). Her leadership is unified and hungry to see damaged lives changed by the Lordship of Jesus and the indwelling of His Spirit. The church is debt-free, has property for the purpose of future facilities, and has substantial savings set aside for future projects and kingdom endeavors in the community and abroad. Her strongest Spiritual attributes include fellowship and unity, welcoming of guests, commitment to Scripture and sound teaching and preaching, missions giving, and growing emphasis in local outreach.

KEY PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES:
Vital to this role is a clear, vibrant, ongoing relationship with Jesus that is evidenced by fruit and leading of the Holy Spirit. Your ongoing personal growth and maturity should be your best motivator to those you lead as they witness Jesus in the details of your life. CCC needs someone who will connect to others quickly and invest in their lives as they grow in their love for them. Applicants should have a strong and healthy relationship with their spouse (if married) and children (if any). Ongoing, active participation in a life group is essential. You should be motivated to seek avenues for personal evangelism outside the church setting. You must set appropriate boundaries to protect your integrity and family. You should be a student of scripture, recognizing that the Holy Spirit’s primary and best “attested-to” directives are via the New Testament Scriptures and the Old Testament Scriptures so viewed through the lens of Christ Jesus. You must also be committed to our core values and hold to our statement of beliefs (available on church website):
