Role Overview
We are seeking a Worship Pastor who is deeply passionate about the gospel and committed to cultivating a warm, participatory worship culture within our church.

This leader ensures that worship is biblically grounded, theologically sound, and gospel-centered, while shepherding teams with care, clarity, and humility.
