Worship Leader

North Haven Church (NorthHavenRaleigh.org)

Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. As an act, worship is the response of our whole being—heart, soul, mind, strength—to beholding God’s glory. We do this both personally and corporately, to God for who He is, and what He has done. Worship is expressed in and by the things we say, the way we live, and is enabled by the Holy Spirit. There is no worship apart from spiritual regeneration found in Jesus Christ. It is fixated on gospel truth. At North Haven, we are seeking a Worship Leader. Has God called you to lead people in worship? You can help us make a difference in the lives of people. If this is your calling, go ahead and apply, because we have been praying for you.
