REPORTS TO: Worship Director

WORKS CLOSELY WITH: Director of Students & Young Adults; Granger Students & Young Adults Staff

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. We have the great privilege and responsibility of following Jesus here at GCC. Team members regularly attend weekend services, regularly 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.

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 is not simply a platform position. A central responsibility of this role is developing young leaders through intentional relationships, continued mentorship, musical coaching, and meaningful opportunities to serve.

This leader will create a culture in which students and young adults feel seen, known, and valued - not merely as people with musical gifts, but as followers of Jesus with a unique calling and an important place in the Church.

SUCCESS/WINS
