Youth and Worship Pastor

Youth & Worship Pastor

At Nashville Church of the Nazarene, we believe in the power of relationships. Our community may not be big or flashy, but the moments we share are rich, real, and lasting. We’re not looking for someone to fill a role but we are searching for someone ready to lead, grow, and be part of something meaningful.

Here, you won’t be lost in the crowd. You’ll know every face and every story, and your work will be seen and felt in ways that larger settings can’t always offer.

WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE

Your ministry is about creating a space where people can truly connect with God. You’ve got a worship team made up of friends and community members who care as much as you do. Some days are tough. And at times, things move slower here, and growth doesn’t come easy. But the reward is in the relationships, the moments where you see God at work in small, awesome ways. Some of your days are filled by sitting down with a group of teens, talking about real life, faith, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world that feels like it’s forgotten places like this.

You won’t have a big stage or flashy lights, but you’ll have a front-row seat to the kind of kingdom impact that can only happen when you’re deeply invested in a community. The work isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. You’ll see faith come alive in small but amazing powerful ways, whether it’s in a kid’s eyes lighting up during youth group or an older church member stepping out in faith for the first time in years.

This isn’t just a job. It’s a calling. God has called you to make a difference in people’s lives, to build His kingdom in a way that’s real and lasting. You’ll feel the weight of responsibility, but you’ll also experience the joy that comes from knowing you’re right where God wants you to be. Here, your work matters. Every day.

This isn’t a job. It’s a calling.

WHY THIS PLACE?

We’re not in the middle of a bustling city, but that’s what makes it special. Here, you’ll find nature, open skies, and people who are hungry for connection and community. Your role will be to lead them in worship that connects deeply with their hearts and to mentor young people in ways that will guide their faith journey for years to come.

Our town offers something that you can’t find in the rush of urban life; peace, space, and time to breathe. And more importantly, people who care. Your work will be more than just leading music or youth programs; it will be about creating relationships that have a lasting impact on the lives of others for the sake of the Gospel and for the sake of God’s kingdom. These kind of relationships transform lives, families, and communities as people grow in faith and trust in Christ. Every conversation, every act of service, every moment spent in prayer with someone is about building a foundation that points to Jesus, leading others to a deeper relationship with Him and making an eternal difference.

WHAT YOU BRING

In this role, you're not just leading worship or guiding youth; you're investing in the spiritual growth of a community, leaving a legacy that reflects Christ’s love. Your equipping others to live out their faith daily, drawing them closer to God, and ultimately, fulfilling the mission of making disciples who make disciples.

This ministry is kingdom work. It’s about advancing the Gospel, bringing hope where it’s needed most, and being part of something much bigger than yourself. We’re looking for more than just a set of skills. We need someone with a deep calling. Someone whose passion for Christ shapes every aspect of their ministry. You’ve felt the pull of God’s call, and you’re ready to serve with everything you have, not because you must, but because you want to, because you know this is where God is leading you.

You're not a person who just leads services or organizes programs. But you desire to create a space where lives are transformed by the Gospel, where youth find their identity in Christ, and where adults are reminded of God’s grace in their everyday lives. You’ll build relationships that last, pouring into the lives of people who need to see Jesus in action. You’ll have a real opportunity to make a Kingdom impact, one person at a time.

WHY COME HERE?
If you feel called to lead in a way that advances the Gospel, to be present, to serve, to grow alongside a congregation that’s eager for revival, this is the place for you. You’ll be given the freedom to lead creatively and the support of a community that values authenticity and the work God is doing through you. Here, you’ll have the chance to be part of something bigger, a ministry that echoes far beyond the walls of our church and into the Kingdom of God.

Because this is more than a job. It’s a calling to be part of something real, to lead in a place where your presence matters. If you’re someone who thrives on connection, who finds joy in seeing the impact of your work up close, this is where you belong. You’ll have the freedom to grow and lead, the support of a community that cares about you, and the chance to make a lasting difference.
