Job Overview

About Hope Community Church

Hope Community Church is a small, gospel-centered congregation in West Nashville. We want our musical worship to be guided by three values: doctrinal health, congregational singing, and undistracted beauty. We prioritize God’s people singing together over attending a concert, and simplicity over production.

Role Summary

The Worship Leader is responsible for leading Hope Community Church in corporate worship on Sunday mornings. This is a part-time, interim role with long-term potential. The primary skillset required is vocal leadership and stage presence — the ability to lead a room, not simply perform for one. Secondary to that is the ability to develop and lead a volunteer worship team toward a shared vision and passion for worship.

Job Description

Sunday Morning

  •       Lead corporate worship each Sunday
  •       Coordinate service flow, song selection, and order of worship
  •       Collaborate with Lead Pastor on liturgy and service planning
  •       Manage transitions, prayer, and congregational engagement throughout the service

Team Development

  •       Lead and develop a volunteer worship team
  •       Schedule and facilitate rehearsals
  •       Cast vision and build culture within the team toward Hope’s values for worship

Staff Collaboration

  •       Meet weekly with Lead Pastor for planning and alignment
  •       Participate in staff rhythm and church life

Administration

  •       Select and arrange songs
  •       Coordinate musician scheduling and communication
  •       Manage song charts, lyrics, and slides
  •       Coordinate with A/V team on sanctuary and technical needs

Qualifications

  •       Demonstrated vocal ability and confident stage presence
  •       Experience leading congregational worship in a church setting
  •       Ability to arrange songs and lead a team musically
  •       Relational skill to develop and motivate volunteers
  •       Alignment with Hope’s theology and worship philosophy
  •       Detail-oriented and consistent
  •       Collaborative in early stages with capacity to own the role independently over time
  •       Formal training in music, ministry, or biblical studies preferred; demonstrated experience and theological alignment will be weighted equally

How To Apply

Compensation & Hours

  •       Rate: $30-35$ an hour
  •       Hours: 8-hour weekly minimum, averaging 10 hours per week with flexibility to grow
  •       Status: Part-time, interim (3–6 months) with long-term potential
  •       Reports to: Lead Pastor and Elders

How to Apply

Send a brief introduction, a link to a live performance video or recording, and any relevant experience to: marshall@hopewestnashville.com

* A phone recording from a recent Sunday morning works great — we’re listening for vocal presence and how you lead a room, not production quality.
