Holy Cross Anglican Church is seeking a Worship Director / Artist-in-Residence to help cultivate a worshiping community marked by robust congregational participation, sound doctrine, and joyful expression through the arts (Col. 3:16). We are seeking to live as a Gospel-shaped people following Christ for the glory of God in the reformational Anglican tradition. We believe worship is a critical aspect of discipleship.  Worship at Holy Cross is not performance-driven or style-defined, but people-centered and God-directed—where the whole body actively glorifies God (Rom. 12:1; 1 Cor. 14:26).

Holy Cross is a parish of the Anglican Church in North America, serving a growing community of more than 250 adults and children, with an average Sunday attendance of approximately 150. Located just two blocks from the beach, we are a joyful and committed ministry team seeking to be a faithful gospel witness in a rapidly growing region.
