Job Overview
Who We Are
At Trinity Anglican Church of Littleton Colorado, we believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ transforms lives and communities. We are a joyful, grace driven, Reformed, intergenerational, family-oriented, Anglican community that believes in the participation and active service of every member. We believe our primary mission field is the children and next generation of the church, and we work to equip the parents to raise up their children in the faith.
We seek a Worship Leader who will be responsible to support the church through planning and leading worship at all church services. Further, we desire someone who will lead us to find our highest joy and satisfaction in God—Father, Son, and Spirit, to the end that we would know, love, serve and obey Him in all that we do and our lives become a sacrifice of worship to Him.
Overview
The Worship Leader envisions a part time position that prioritizes the leadership of worship at Trinity Anglican Church (Trinity) for the person otherwise engaged in other educational or artistic pursuits. The concept draws mutual strength in that Trinity gains the benefit of diverse and new music, while the Worship Leader benefits from a foundation of constant support – financial, spiritual, and community. This position further encapsulates mentoring opportunities that sharpen the Worship Leader while developing the skills of the existing musician membership ranks of Trinity.
While part time, Trinity conceives this role to provide weekly support for all worship services, the time expectations varying with the Church calendar, but the Worship Leader also being able to draw upon the resources and membership of Trinity to support his or her work as a Worship Leader insofar as that work is in accord with the broader interest and work of Trinity and her members. To this end, the mentorship opportunities multiply to leadership opportunities for the membership to provide overlapping coverage for all worship services to ensure the spiritual health of Trinity and all worship opportunities provided in the Book of Common Prayer.
