We are seeking a highly skilled, spiritually mature Music Director / Worship Music Director who can help build, strengthen, and carry the musical culture of Creative Church across our worship environments.
This is more than a keys position or someone who simply directs the band on Sundays. We are looking for a builder, developer, musical leader, and highly proficient worship keys player who can take ownership of the practical musical needs of the worship department while helping cultivate the spiritual health, excellence, unity, creativity, and flexibility that mark our culture.
The Music Director works closely with the Worship Director, worship leaders, musicians, and Production Team to turn vision into execution—preparing teams, strengthening arrangements, developing musicians, shaping our worship sound, and helping create environments that are musically excellent while remaining deeply responsive to the Holy Spirit.
This person should be equally comfortable preparing a detailed musical arrangement and abandoning that arrangement when the room moves in another direction. They should understand how to lead a band through planned worship, extended ministry moments, spontaneous worship, hymns, modern worship songs, and everything in between.
Presence matters. Preparation matters. Culture matters.
Musical Direction & Service Execution
Direct and lead worship musicians during rehearsals, soundchecks, and services
Take ownership of the musical preparation and execution of worship sets across Creative Church environments
Support worship leaders in carrying the vision, direction, and flow of each service
Help create musical environments that are prepared and excellent without becoming rigid or over-produced
Support the Worship Director on Sunday mornings by helping lead the team both practically and spiritually
Work closely with Production and Audio to ensure the band, playback, keys, transitions, and overall musical sound function cohesively
Understand how to create musical space that supports prayer, ministry, healing, altar moments, and spontaneous worship without overplaying
Prepare and organize songs before rehearsals and services
Create clean, accurate Nashville Number charts, chord charts, arrangements, and other musical resources
Maintain accurate musical resources within Planning Center Online
Develop musical solutions and backup plans when necessary
Help maintain consistency in how songs are arranged and executed across Creative Church
Build systems and resources that allow volunteer musicians to walk into rehearsals prepared and confident
The Music Director should be able to confidently lead worship from keys while understanding how keyboard sounds, textures, voicings, dynamics, and musical space shape the atmosphere of a worship environment.
Responsibilities include:
Create and organize patches, pads, textures, layers, and soundscapes that serve individual songs and worship environments
Understand how to build atmosphere musically without overcrowding the room
Creative Church values a broad worship vocabulary.
The Music Director should:
Creative Church values preparation, but we also believe preparation should create freedom rather than restrict it.
The Music Director must be comfortable leading in presence-led, Spirit-led worship environments where the plan may change in real time.
At Creative Church, leadership means more than accomplishing a task.
The Music Director should actively help identify, disciple, train, and release musicians into greater levels of musical and spiritual leadership.
This includes:
Coach, mentor, and develop volunteer musicians
Identify emerging musicians and create pathways for them to grow
Help recruit and onboard new musicians as the worship ministry grows
Develop younger and next-generation musicians within Youth, Young Adults, and other ministry environments
Provide private coaching or lessons when needed to strengthen individual musicians
Give clear, encouraging, and actionable musical feedback
Help musicians understand not only what to play, but why they are playing it
Develop additional MDs and musical leaders who can eventually carry responsibility at the Creative Church standard
Shepherd and care for musicians relationally rather than viewing people simply as players needed to fill positions
Our goal is not to build a worship ministry around a few talented people. Our goal is to develop, empower, and multiply leaders.
The Music Director will also help strengthen worship beyond Sunday mornings.
Responsibilities may include:
Supporting Youth and Young Adult worship environments musically
Assisting with staffing and scheduling needs
Helping younger musicians prepare for services
Developing emerging MDs, keys players, and band leaders
Establishing musical standards and systems that can carry across ministry environments
We are looking for someone with a high level of musical competency who can confidently lead other skilled musicians.
