Worship Minister

Highland Church of Christ is a contemporary church in a rural area with a track record of growth and outreach to the surrounding communities and the world.  Highland is an independent, instrumental Christian church of 600+ located in the southeastern Illinois city of Robinson, and is searching for a minister to lead our worship and worship technology areas.

We’re looking for someone with a passion for leading the congregation to worship, the ability to create environments to help them connect with God in a significant way, and the skills to utilize appropriate technology to accomplish both.  We’re searching for a leader who relates to both artists and non-artists and can recruit, equip, develop, and deploy other leaders who share that passion for effective worship.  

This level of leadership requires an above-reproach lifestyle and a complete commitment to God’s Word, full buy-in to Highland’s Mission and Core Values, as well as our Belief and Teaching statement (see the Highland website for these documents).  Also important to us are a college degree in an appropriate discipline and experience in planning and leading worship in a medium to large-size church.  The position description goes into more detail on responsibilities.  

To help you create an effective worship ministry and environment, you’ll be part of an elder-protected, staff-led leadership model that encourages innovation and smart risk-taking.  You’ll also have the support and partnership of an experienced staff team.  In addition, the auditorium is modern and offers programming flexibility with an array of first-rate technology.

Compensation is competitive (50 - 60K) plus a retirement contribution and insurance package.
