801 COLLEGE | REDEMPTION CHURCH | OGDEN, UTAH
Worship Leader
Full-Time Staff · Support-Raised · 801 College
The Role
801 College is the college ministry of Redemption Church in Ogden, Utah. We are building a
student-led worship culture — theologically grounded, excellently executed, and increasingly
owned by students. This is not a performance role. It is a pastoral one.
The Standard: Excellent enough that it doesn’t distract. Intentional enough that it leads. Simple
enough that students can own it eventually.
What You’ll Own
— Plan and lead weekly Midweek worship — set lists, rehearsals, sound check, and post-service
debrief
— Build a theologically sound song culture — scripturally accurate, God-centered, and
congregationally accessible
— Develop student musicians — recruit, coach, and progressively hand off leading to students on
your team
— Serve on Sunday worship at Redemption Church as available
— Support broader 801 College programming — retreats, events, and the annual calendar
What We’re Looking For
Character
— Vibrant, growing personal relationship with Jesus — not just theological knowledge, but genuine
encounter with God
— Planted in a local church, under pastoral care, known by elders, above reproach
— Handles feedback with humility and pursues growth without being told to
— Someone students genuinely want to follow — not just someone they respect from the stage
Musical Competency
— Proficient on at least one primary instrument; vocally capable of leading a congregation
— Able to communicate musical direction clearly in rehearsal and read a room in real time
— Committed to ongoing musical development
Theological Grounding
— You’re a worship theologian, not just a worship leader — able to explain why we sing what we sing
and identify theological problems in a song
— No seminary degree required, but you must be a student of this
Team Development Orientation
— This role is evaluated not just on what happens on stage, but on whether the people around you are
growing
— If students aren’t being given more responsibility over time, something is wrong
The Development Opportunity
The goal is not for you to lead worship at 801 College forever. The goal is to develop and
eventually oversee student worship leaders who carry the stage with excellence. This is the long
game — and it’s the most important part of the job.
801 COLLEGE | REDEMPTION CHURCH | OGDEN, UTAH
