Worship Team Leader

Worshipping God is the primary purpose of His people (Ephesians 1:3-14, 1 Peter 2:9). We worship God in a wide variety of ways, including personal holiness, sharing the gospel with those who don’t know Christ, trusting Him over the idols of our hearts, and through various expressions of praise. 

Our Worship Team exists to help Trinity Church worship when we gather together. We want to use the creative gifts God has given the members of our church to help us worship God corporately in ways that are theologically rich, culturally relevant and centred on the good news of Jesus.

The Worship Team Leader will be responsible for leading and growing the worship team at Trinity Church. We are strongly committed to team ministry and therefore expect the Team Leader not just to use their own gifts to lead the church in worship but to recruit, train, develop and empower others to serve alongside them. 

The successful candidate will be a mature Christian whose life meets the qualifications of a deacon laid out in 1 Timothy 3:8-13. They must possess the necessary musical ability and leadership skills to perform the role, being a confident instrumentalist with good proficiency. There must also be full alignment with the vision and values of Trinity Church. Prior experience in a similar role is desirable but continued training and development will be provided by our staff, eldership and partner organisations to further equip the successful candidate.
