POSITION OVERVIEW
We are looking for an anointed and dynamic worship leader/pastor who
leads from an instrument and has strong experience building, training, and
leading teams. This person will partner with our lead pastor who is
passionate about developing a powerful weekly worship experience. This
position will oversee an established Worship & Media team and be hourly
for a range of 20-30 hours a week.
WHO WE ARE & MUSIC STYLE
NewportNaz is located on the central Oregon coast. Our city is known for
its strong local fishing community and tourist destination. We are apart of
the Nazarene denomination and yet we are not a traditional church. It is our
desire to bring more of a modern sound to our church. We are a band
church, not a choir church. If a choir was added to the team it must be
modern. Our current worship genre includes Hillsong, Bethel, Crowder,
Maverick City, Elevation, Tomlin, etc. We would love to expand our
repertoire and sound by adding a diversified flare as well.
RENOVATION
Beginning in 2019, our church made several major investments in
upgrading our Sound & Media dept. This project included a total overhaul
to the audio sound board, speakers and snake. Our livestream had an
upgrade in 2020 and 2024. Our lighting systems had a small upgrade 3
years ago but it’s far from complete. We want to continue to improve our
equipment and design but are waiting for the new worship leader.
