TBC is a casual "come as you are" congregation that follows a blended style of worship. We have a talented choir, an experienced orchestra, a flourishing Senior Adult Ministry and an active Student Ministry. In 2024, our focus is to RENEW our walk with Christ through our Posture, our Obedience, and our Worship (Psalm 51:10). Applying for the position of Associate Pastor of Worship and Media means seeking to join a body of believers who understand that we have been called to be "A light in the city that cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).

Your application asserts your confidence in leading the musical components of an orchestra, choir and praise team, as well as the capability of incorporating technology into Worship. We pray you have a passion about presenting the Gospel, and your love of the Lord through every opportunity.
