Is God calling you to lead worship in a church home that loves Jesus Christ deeply, that humbly seeks his presence and guidance and that overflows with a genuine welcoming, informal, loving spirit?
If so, God may be leading you to Trinity.
At Trinity, we are a 300-person congregation who has a burning desire for God, his heart and to proclaim the Gospel. We are a dynamic mix of generations, cultures and backgrounds who view praise and worship as a critical part of our ministry to the congregation and of our praise to God.
We have been blessed with a growing worship ministry where members of the praise team span a diverse mix of generations, cultures and talents. Our worship style is one centered on seeking and praising God, is heartfelt, powerful, informal and is a blend of contemporary and traditional musical styles.
We are looking for someone who can build on the foundation the Lord has blessed us with and lead our church family to worship God in spirit and in truth.
This could be a great opportunity for both someone who is early in their ministry career and feels a call on their life in worship ministry or for a seasoned worship leader, all levels are welcome to apply. We are also flexible on full or part-time availability for the right candidate.
Our heart is to find someone to participate in God’s vision for our church and to not only build a thriving worship ministry, but also build a life. We are a strong community-based church located in Florence, SC, a family-oriented city located centrally between the coasts of SC (Myrtle Beach and Charleston are 1 hour away) and the mountains of SC/NC (Charlotte and Greenville are 2-3 hours away).
