Shepherd Staff has been helping churches hire exceptional candidates for over 17 years, partnering with churches across the country to identify leaders who are called, gifted, and aligned with their mission and culture.
We have partnered with The Journey Church in Newark, Delaware, to help them identify their next Worship Pastor/Director.
This is an opportunity to join a healthy, growing church with a strong leadership team, a clear mission, and a culture built around ownership, honesty, and empowerment. The Journey is looking for a leader who is passionate about worship, committed to developing people, and excited about building a thriving ministry that helps others take their next step with Jesus.
If you are energized by leading worship, investing in volunteers, building healthy teams, and serving alongside a collaborative staff, this could be an exceptional opportunity worth exploring.
