The Position
Dolores Park Church is in need of a Worship Leader whose primary role is leading worship during Sunday services and Pastor / Director of Junior High Ministry. This is a full-time position where roughly 30-40% would be leading the Worship Ministry, and the other 60-70% would be leading the Junior High Ministry.
If you are only interested in the Worship Leader role, we are willing to hire someone with the qualifications below that don't pertain to Junior High Ministry, but it would be a part-time role, not full-time.
To Apply
Please read the description thoroughly and, if interested, email a brief letter of introduction and interest along with your resume to the email address on this posting. We will respond within a few days—please be patient as this effort is conducted by volunteers. Please do not try to contact the church directly regarding this position as the office has nothing to do with the hiring process. The salary is roughly $70k with benefits and potential housing for a single person or married couple. This amount is approximate and negotiable.
