Job Description: Worship and Production Director or Pastor

Redeemer Church of Arlington– Arlington, VA

JOB DESCRIPTION

This role will advance our mission to make disciples by cultivating more passionate worshipers of Jesus, embodying our vision and values through creative arts, and working alongside the lead pastor to oversee one of our primary discipleship environments – the Sunday worship gathering.

The ideal candidate will be gifted musically and competent with the production technologies used by Redeemer. They will also be experienced at building and leading teams, highly organized, and attentive to details in order to help this ministry thrive in our dynamic environment.

This is a salaried position and may be full-time or part-time, depending on the candidate's experience, availability, and calling. We welcome applicants from a range of ministry experience levels. The scope of responsibilities (and potential pastoral designation) will be shaped around the individual's gifts, maturity, and the church's needs.

• Self-Starter & Hard Worker – Takes initiative and follows through with diligence.

• Doer & Equipper – Takes a hands-on role in carrying out the ministry, but understands that their role is not only to do the ministry, but to equip the saints.

• Team Player – Prioritizes collaboration and humility, sharing their perspective passionately, but supports the final decision. Doesn't have to always have their way.

• Adaptable & Resilient – Comfortable navigating change, energized by problem-solving, and emotionally resilient when faced with challenges.

• Honest & Honoring – Acts and speaks with integrity and shows respect for God, leaders, and team members. Communicates with radical candor – showing genuine concern while delivering honest feedback that's not sugar coated or barbed.

• Clear Communicator – Communicates God's Word clearly and engagingly through speech and song. Responds to correspondence with timeliness and clarity.

• Innovator & Integrator – Brings fresh ideas to their areas of ministry while maintaining alignment with the church's overall vision and philosophy.
• Present & Engaged – Actively participates in the life of Redeemer and prioritizes physical proximity to and presence with our church family and the community.

• Lifelong Learner – Desires feedback and is committed to personal/professional growth.

  • Participate fully in the life of Redeemer through staff and leadership meetings, community group involvement, Sunday gatherings, and special events.
  • Provide care to members and neighbors, including prayer, encouragement, and support for the sick, elderly, hurting, and non-participating.
