Worship Coordinator
Who We Are
Pinnacle Church is a place for real people, real questions, and real hope. We're centered on Jesus, passionate about community, and committed to creating a space free of judgment and political agendas, a place for anyone, no matter where they are in their faith journey. We believe every community should have a church that unchurched people love to attend, so we stay outward-facing rather than just insider-focused, paying close attention to what people see, hear, and experience when they walk through our doors.
About the Role
The Worship Leader is a full-time position responsible for leading weekly attenders into worship across multiple weekend experiences at Pinnacle Church. This role exists to create authentic worship environments that speak to all walks of life, not locked into one style, but always willing to grow, adapt, and reach people wherever they are.
This is more than a performance role. The Worship Coordinator oversees and develops the full Pinnacle Worship team, including volunteer band members, vocalists, and volunteer team leads. We are looking for someone with genuine talent, stage presence, and a deep passion for leading people into an encounter with Jesus. Just as importantly, we are looking for someone who leads with care, investing in the people on their team and not just the product on the stage.
