Specific Expectations:
Leading Worship -- The Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director will lead worship by music during two contemporary services each Sunday.

Planning of Services -- The process of planning services will be done with the pastor and normally will be done weeks in advance. The selection of songs, order of the worship and what creative elements will be in consultation with the Lead Pastor. The Worship Arts Director will do the coordinating of talent offerings.

Coordinate, Recruit and Enlist Worship Team Personnel -- The Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director will be responsible for the recruitment and training of individuals to serve on the Worship Team. The Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director will also be responsible to schedule leaders, singers and band members each week and decide how they should be used and the planning of a schedule.

A Pastor to this Ministry, A Shepherd of the Flock -- We would hope that the Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director would grow into a leadership role and pastoral-shepherd the ministry and people associated with the worship ministry.

Ministry-Related Issues:

Relating to the Lead Pastor – The Worship Pastor/Pastor Arts Director will report and be directed by the Lead Pastor, who is presently overseeing the Worship Division in our ministry structure. The Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director will meet regularly with the Lead Pastor for oversight and coaching.

Relating to the Congregation – It is very important to us that the Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director and their family be connected to the Body Life of the church and especially in regards to a small group in the church. We do not want them to be a "hired gun" for their ministry area, but to feel vitally linked to the church through relationships outside of the worship personnel.

Administrative Support – We desire that the Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director's time be focused on preparing and leading, thus we will provide significant administrative assistance. The Lead Pastor will coordinate with the Worship Pastor/Worship Arts Director on how this can be best utilized. In addition, budgeting issues will be worked through with the Lead Pastor.

Philosophy of Worship – We desire to corporately acknowledge and respond to God's majesty and power thus expressing our love for Christ's grace and mercy and doing it all in the control of God's Word and Spirit.

Time Commitment:
We are expecting that the Worship Arts Director position will require between 20-25 hours a week, which includes rehearsal time, Sunday involvement, office hours, pastoral meetings, coordination through phone or personal meetings and small group involvement.

CEC has a vacation policy, which begins all ministers at two weeks paid vacation and adds additional weeks, taking in consideration those years of ministry in other churches.
