JOB TITLE: Dayton Worship Leader
REPORTS TO: Central Music Team Director
LEVEL: Team Member
SITE: Dayton
STATUS: Full-Time
JOB SUMMARY: The Dayton Worship Leader leads the overall music and worship experience for our Dayton site at Crossroads, as a vibrant teammate on the Crossroads music team. The ideal candidate is an exceptional vocalist, has a dynamic, authentic presence on stage, and exhibits an infectious excitement in worship. This person is a great team leader who attracts people and develops them both musically and spiritually. This person is pastoral and people-centered, more than a music performer. This person also has technical music and production skills (e.g. the ability to arrange music, create charts, tracks, samples, write songs, and play multiple instruments). Most importantly, this person has an authentic relationship with Jesus and is willing and able to share it with those he or she is leading.
ABOUT CROSSROADS DAYTON: God gave Crossroads a unique voice. It’s not for everyone. It tends to attract people who have given up on church but still want to wrestle with the idea of faith. Tens of thousands of people have discovered a thriving relationship with Jesus through Crossroads, and now we get the chance to have that same impact in Dayton.
Our Dayton site has experienced exponential growth over the last 6 years while meeting in a temporary location (Bellbrook Middle School), with dozens of volunteers setting up and tearing down every single weekend. It's been a fantastic temporary home, but our future permanent location will legitimize our mission, and allow us to reach more of our friends and neighbors.
We are currently renovating the former Sears location next to the Dayton Mall to offer a highly versatile space including a state-of-the-art auditorium, to firmly establish Crossroads in the Dayton area and offer the support, services, and outreach God is calling us to provide.
