Highland Church of Christ (Christian Church, Instrumental), Robinson, IL

Worship Minister Search

Highland Church of Christ is a contemporary church in a rural area with a track record of growth and outreach to the surrounding communities and the world.  Highland is an independent, instrumental Christian church of 600+ located in the southeastern Illinois city of Robinson, and is searching for a minister to lead our worship and worship technology areas.

We’re looking for someone with a passion for leading the congregation to worship, the ability to create environments to help them connect with God in a significant way, and the skills to utilize appropriate technology to accomplish both.  We’re searching for a leader who relates to both artists and non-artists and can recruit, equip, develop, and deploy other leaders who share that passion for effective worship.

This level of leadership requires an above-reproach lifestyle and a complete commitment to God’s Word, full buy-in to Highland’s Mission and Core Values, as well as our Belief and Teaching statement (see the Highland website for these documents).  Also important to us are a college degree in an appropriate discipline and experience in planning and leading worship in a medium to large-size church.  The position description goes into more detail on responsibilities.

To help you create an effective worship ministry and environment, you’ll be part of an elder-protected, staff-led leadership model that encourages innovation and smart risk-taking.  You’ll also have the support and partnership of an experienced staff team.  In addition, the auditorium is modern and offers programming flexibility with an array of first-rate technology.

Compensation is competitive (50 – 62.5K) plus a retirement contribution and insurance package.

SMCC is looking for an experienced Youth & Family Minister who wants to help people and families find, follow, and worship Jesus. Your primary responsibility will be the oversight, outreach, volunteer recruitment, and development of all programming for all children/youth from pre-school through high school.

In recent years SMCC has become an older congregation so we’re especially looking for someone who can be innovative in finding ways to reach and connect younger families to the church.

Sevier County has 5 high schools with an open enrollment; and the area also has a large Hispanic population. In fact, SMCC has a Hispanic congregation that uses part of our facilities on Sunday/Wednesday nights for their gatherings, and the two congregations have held joint services and outreach events in the past. But perhaps what makes SMCC especially unique is that we get a lot of visitors (many of them repeat visitors) which creates ministry opportunities!

SMCC currently has a blended worship service with one of the worship teams consisting of some of our high school youth. So, while musical abilities are not required for this position if you’re someone who also has some worship leading experience (or who just strums a guitar) who might be willing to help plan and lead worship 1-2 Sundays a month with some of our youth that would be a blessing too!

If interested in applying for this position please send resume and any supporting materials to our Senior Minister, Brain Powell, at brian@smokymountainchurch.com.
