ROLE: Student & Young Adults Worship Leader

STAFF LEVEL: Associate Staff, Full Time, Salary, Exempt

REPORTS TO: Worship Director

At Granger Community Church (GCC) we are committed to building a world-class staff of team members devoted to the high calling of ministry. We all acknowledge that this is not “just a job.” Team members use their God-given S.H.A.P.E. to advance the cause of Jesus and represent both Him and GCC wherever they are. Team members regularly attend weekend services, participate in church events and discipleship opportunities, and tithe here at GCC. Each team member is a person of integrity and makes decisions based on biblically-formed core values and the GCC Staff Statement of Ethics. Each team member is loyal to Lead Pastor Ted Bryant, other staff and lay leaders while living as a passionate advocate of GCC’s mission, vision, and values.

SUMMARY
The Student & Young Adults Worship Leader exists to help middle school students, high school students, and young adults encounter Jesus and grow as worshippers, disciples, and leaders.

This individual will lead and produce contextualized worship experiences for Granger Students and Granger Young Adults while building, shepherding, and equipping teams of musicians, vocalists, and worship leaders.

This role will serve under the Worship Director to maintain vision, unity, and intentional excellence throughout the greater GCC Worship Collective.
