Worship Minister

Northside is a vibrant growing church just east of Kansas City, Missouri.  We're focused on equipping and mobilizing the 99 (our church body) to reach their ONE (individuals in their life that are close to them but far from God, not connected with Jesus or a local church) based on Luke 15.  We believe a Gospel-centered church is a growing church. Overall Responsibility: The Worship Minister's responsibility is to serve the church by developing, coordinating, and administering an effective worship ministry that leads the body in meaningful and impactful worship experiences each weekend that inspire others and honors God.

Essential Job Functions: -Design, plan and facilitate weekly worship. -Plan and coordinate all of the elements of each weekly worship service. -Recruit, train, and schedule people for the worship ministry. -Plan and facilitate weekly worship team rehearsals/practices. -Plan and coordinate any special services throughout the year (Christmas Eve, Easter, Night of Worship) -Oversee the Technical Director. -Establish goals and objectives for the worship ministry and plan an appropriate annual budget. -Work with appropriate staff, leaders, and elders to carry out ministry. -Represent the church by serving in the community.

Our Beliefs: It is essential that candidates for this position align with Restoration Movement beliefs.

Our Values: -We are Jesus centered. Everything we do is centered on Christ and what he has done on the cross which propels us in all we do. -We are led by the Spirit. Without the work of the Holy Spirit, the church wouldn't exist. The Spirit calls us, brings conviction, seals us, provides comfort, offers guidance, aids us, distributes spiritual gifts, sanctifies, and intercedes on behalf of believers. Through the Spirit, we gain the power to fulfill Gods purposes. We aspire to be sensitive to His leading and guidance. -We are a praying church. We believe in the power of prayer and the privilege to communicate directly with the God of creation who desires to be in relationship with us.  -We are ONE focused. Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost, so we reflect his heart by connecting and engaging with those who aren't connected to Jesus or a local church; individuals who are close to us but far from God. -We are contributors, not consumers. Northside is a battleship, not a cruise ship.  Were in a battle against the enemy who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy, and each person has a responsibility to contribute to the mission of the church. -We believe living in Christian community is essential. We're not meant to do life alone. Being connected to a Northside group is expected for growth, accountability, and support. -We don't maintain, we multiply. We aren't content with the status quo since God desires all to enter into a personal relationship with him. Because of this, we have a heart to see our local church grow as people reach their ONEs and they believe and confess Christ as Lord, repent of their sin, trust in Jesus and are baptized, and follow Christ in trust and obedience. -We honor one another to glorify God. Scripture says the world will know we are Christians by how we love one another.  We seek unity within the body by modeling Matthew 18. We honor one another by talking to people, not about people.  Were willing to do the difficult work to seek unity. -We believe in a personal responsibility to the Great Commission. While the church has an organizational responsibility to the Great Commission, we believe every follower of Jesus has a personal responsibility to the Great Commission in their own life.  This is reflected in how we are intentional in engaging with ONEs and walking alongside them as they explore Jesus and make a decision to follow him and be baptized, instead of relying on the church to be solely responsible.
