Director of Worship & Weekend Worship Experience
Part-Time | 10-12 hrs/week | $250/week (1099) | Lavon, TX
Bear Creek Community Church launches publicly on September 13, 2026, and we are looking for a worship director who wants to be part of something from the very beginning to help shape the culture, sound, and spiritual atmosphere of a brand-new church.
This is a part-time role, but the impact is full-time. Every Sunday, you will stand before a congregation that is still forming, still finding its footing, and still discovering what it means to worship together. What you build now will echo for years.
Our Vision for Worship
At Bear Creek, worship is not a production. It is an invitation. Our sound is acoustic and intimate, rooted in a Jesus-centered, singer-songwriter aesthetic. Think less arena anthem, more honest conversation with God. We want worship that feels like it belongs to the people in the room, not just the stage.
If that resonates with the way you already lead, you may be exactly who we are looking for.
We expect pre-Christians in the room with us every Sunday, so we select songs and guide the crowd in a way that helps people who already follow Jesus have an authentic encounter with Him, and at the same time create a safe space for explorers to learn more about Jesus and the relationship He wants to have with them.
The Role
As Director of Worship and Weekend Worship Experience, you are a key member of the Bear Creek Executive Team. You will work directly with Lead Pastor David Watson to plan, rehearse, and lead every weekend service. You will personally lead worship from the stage each Sunday, oversee the Worship Team, and partner closely with the Production Director to ensure that every musical, technical, and creative element works together seamlessly.
This is not a behind-the-scenes support role. You are a leader, a shepherd, and a worshiper. You set the tone.
