First Nazarene Church is a growing, vibrant church community that desires to reach and impact their local community. The church has grown by 20% in the last two years. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic staff team as the Worship/Creative Director fueling the momentum of reaching those far from God while discipling those in all faith stages.
