Worship Leader

New England Bible Church

Andover, MA

Worship Leader (Part-time 10-15 hours per week, salary commensurate with experience.)

NEBC is a strong community of believers who are happily following Christ, committed to Scripture, and growing in relationships with each other. We are a multi-generational church with a healthy blend of young families, empty-nesters, and retirees.

We are seeking a worship leader who has a strong love for Christ and is gifted to lead our congregation in worship as our hearts are prepared to hear from God’s Word.  Our worship service includes a blend of hymns and contemporary songs which are theologically rich, God-centered, and singable (“Oceans” and “Holy Forever” are beautiful songs, but hard to sing as a congregation!).  In addition to time-tested hymns, we appreciate music by the Gettys, Matt Boswell, Matt Papa, CityAlight, and Sovereign Music.

We are blessed to have over 25 people on our worship team: instrumentalists, vocalists, and A/V techs.  We have put time and effort into designing and building a quality system which includes a digital sound board, updated mics, amps, speakers, accessories, camera (services are livestreamed), computer, sound panels throughout the sanctuary and fellowship hall, and a baby grand piano. 

Key responsibilities:

• Work with the senior pastor to plan services around themes, sermon series, holidays
• Select music for each service
• Oversee and manage the worship team
• Schedule weekly rotation of worship team members
• Organize and lead regular practice sessions
• Oversee the tech team (part of the worship team) to ensure that the audio, visual, and livestream elements of each service are done well and without distractions
• Develop future team members to lead services when the worship leader is on vacation/sick
• Continue building into our commitment of providing a fun and Christ-like atmosphere where members can use their gifts for Christ while being encouraged in their personal walk with God.

Qualifications:

• Strong faith in Christ
• Heart to serve the local church
• Proficient in vocals and guitar or piano
• Ability to arrange music and lead a team of vocalists and instrumentalists
• Strong relational and leadership skills
• Self-motivated, organized, and a good communicator

We desire a worship leader who has a tangible faith, a contagious heart for Christ, a love for the church, and a genuine desire to become part of our close-knit church family.  We love to worship, learn, serve, eat, and have fun together!
