What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a worship intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Worship Intern, you need foundational musical skills, basic theological knowledge, and often some experience in leading or assisting worship services.

Strong communication, collaboration, and adaptability help you connect with both team members and the congregation. These abilities are essential for fostering meaningful worship experiences and supporting the spiritual goals of the church community.

What is a worship intern?

Worship interns are individuals, typically students or recent graduates, who assist with the planning and leading of worship services under the supervision of a worship pastor or director. Their responsibilities may include helping with music selection, rehearsing with worship teams, managing audio/visual equipment, and coordinating service logistics. The internship is designed to provide hands-on experience in church worship ministry, develop leadership skills, and deepen understanding of worship practices. Worship interns often have opportunities to learn about music ministry, spiritual formation, and church operations.

What is the difference between Worship Intern vs Worship Leader?

AspectWorship InternWorship Leader
CredentialsTypically pursuing or holding a relevant religious or music-related certification or degreeOften has extensive experience, possibly certifications in music or worship leadership
Work EnvironmentAssists in worship services, supports music teams, learns under supervisionLeads worship sessions, directs music teams, makes creative and spiritual decisions
Employer & Industry UsageCommon in churches, religious organizations, and faith-based eventsFound in churches, religious conferences, and large faith organizations

The Worship Intern typically supports and learns from experienced Worship Leaders, focusing on gaining skills and experience.

While the intern is in a learning role, the leader holds a more advanced, decision-making position within the worship team.

As a Worship Intern, you’ll frequently collaborate with worship leaders, musicians, and other ministry staff to help plan and execute worship services. This often involves attending planning meetings, coordinating with volunteers, and assisting in the creative process for service elements such as music selection and multimedia. You'll also learn how to adapt to various leadership styles and support the broader goals of the ministry team. Open communication and flexibility are key, as you may be asked to help with last-minute changes or special events, giving you valuable hands-on experience in a dynamic church environment.

Job description

CLC is a growing Assemblies of God church in the Dayton area, and we’re looking for a Worship Leader who’s ready to step into a senior creative role — not just fill a slot on the stage. This is a chance to shape the worship culture of a multigenerational church, build a team from the ground up, and leave a real mark on how thousands of people encounter God week after week.
This role sits within the Weekend Services department and works day-to-day in close partnership with the Weekend Services Team Leader. At the same time, the Worship Leader participates directly in CLC’s senior pastoral team — bringing a creative and spiritual voice to church-wide vision, not just Sunday logistics.
If you’re a strong communicator, a natural team builder, and someone who leads from genuine spiritual depth — not just stage presence — this role was built for you.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Lead Worship
  • Serve as the primary worship leader for all weekend and mid-week services
  • Lead worship for high-impact moments — Easter, Christmas, baptisms, conferences, community outreach
  • Collaborate with the Lead Pastor and Weekend Services Team Leader to align worship with the church’s spiritual direction
  • Participate directly in senior pastoral team meetings as a voice on church-wide vision and direction
Build the Team
  • Recruit and develop volunteer musicians, vocalists, and artists across CLC ministries
  • Lead weekly rehearsals and actively invest in volunteers’ musical and spiritual growth
  • Launch and run a worship resident/intern program to develop the next generation of worship leaders
  • Set annual goals for the worship ministry and drive them to completion
Collaborate Across Ministries
  • Partner with StudentLife (MS/HS), Young Adults, Celebrate Recovery, and other ministries
  • Work with production and technical arts to ensure sound, lighting, and visuals serve the room
  • Support CLC Worship’s digital and social presence, including streaming and online content
Run the Operation
  • Own the worship schedule through Planning Center
  • Manage charts, practice videos, MIDI cues, and music files
  • Steward the worship department budget in partnership with the Weekend Services Team Leader and Executive Pastor
  • Keep all worship equipment maintained and ready
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We want someone with real experience and real faith — not one or the other. Here's what we're looking for:
  • High School Diploma or equivalent required. Bachelor's degree in Music, Worship, Theology, or a related field is preferred.
  • 5+ years of worship leading in a large church setting (1,500+ congregation)
  • Proven track record leading a team of paid musicians and vocalists
  • Deep understanding of worship theology and how to apply it in a congregational setting
  • Fluency with Planning Center, ProPresenter, DAW platforms, and IEM/live production workflows
  • MIDI programming and chart arrangement experience
  • Strong communicator — you can connect with volunteers, staff, and leadership at every level
Bonus points for:
  • Graduate-level study in Worship, Theology, or a related field
  • Original songwriting, arrangement, or music production experience
THE PERSON
Beyond the resume, we're looking for someone who:
  • Has an authentic, growing relationship with Jesus — not just a professional one
  • Leads with humility and serves from a genuine pastoral heart
  • Can hold their own in a high-visibility, high-pressure environment without losing themselves
  • Aligns with CLC's Statement of Faith and the Assemblies of God tradition
  • Knows how to build trust across a diverse team and a diverse congregation
SCHEDULE amp; LOGISTICS
  • Standard weekly schedule: Monday–Wednesday + Saturday–Sunday
  • Evening rehearsals and midweek services are part of the role
  • Extended hours during Christmas, Easter, and other high-demand seasons
  • Some local travel for off-site ministry events
BENEFITS
  • Medical, Dental, Vision
  • Employer paid Life amp; Disability Coverage (Short-Term and Long-Term)
  • 14 Paid Holidays
  • Generous Paid Time Off Schedule
  • Retirement Plan with 6% Employer Match
  • Incredible Team Environment
  • Salary Range: $70,000 - $85,000 based on experience and education
Why Join CLC?
CLC is a place where ministry and excellence aren't in tension — we expect both. You'll be part of a church that values creativity, cares about people, and is serious about what God is doing in the Dayton area and beyond. This isn't a maintenance role. It's a build role.
