Worship Pastor

First Christian Church (we go by “1C” around here) is a growing, vibrant, and down-to-earth church in Jacksonville, Illinois. We currently average 1300 in attendance on the weekends. Our mission is simple: CONNECTING UNCONNECTED PEOPLE TO JESUS CHRIST. We love God, love people, and don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re seeing God do some incredible things here – new believers, life change, growing ministries – and we believe worship is a key part of the journey. We’re building a culture where worship is authentic, excellent, and accessible to everyone, no matter where they are in their faith. We gather for services on Thursdays at 6:00 pm and Sundays 8:00, 9:15 & 10:30 am, and our worship team plays a big role in setting the tone for each gathering. The 8:00 Sunday worship is a traditional service with hymns, while the other services are all contemporary with our worship band.

We’re looking for a Worship Pastor who is passionate about building teams, creating meaningful worship experiences, and leading people into a deeper connection with God through music. If you’re a gifted leader with a heart for the local church and a desire to help people engage in worship, we’d love to hear from you.
