Full-Time | Salary Range: $55,000–$60,000 | Benefits provided

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. 

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead congregational worship through singing and instrumental leadership for Sunday services (8:00am and 10:30am) and midweek chapel services

• Piano proficiency required; guitar helpful

• Select and arrange music that prioritizes congregational participation and theological clarity, with singable melodies in accessible ranges 

• Maintain a thoughtful balance of hymns, psalms, and contemporary music

• Teach and model why we worship the way we do, deepening the congregation’s understanding of Anglican liturgy and congregational singing

• Collaborate with clergy to ensure music supports the proclamation of the Word and the shape of the liturgy 

• Recruit, lead, and pastor musicians and singers with a shepherd’s heart

• Oversee scheduling, coordination, and communication for worship ministries

• Work closely with audio and media volunteers

• Encourage children’s participation in congregational singing and corporate worship

Artist-in-Residence 

Holy Cross believes faithful creativity is an important expression of our life in Christ and a meaningful witness to the world (Exod. 31:1–5; Matt. 5:16). This role includes space for artistic growth and development, engagement with the broader artistic community, and opportunities to foster missional engagement through the arts.

Qualifications

• A deep love for Jesus Christ and a commitment to growing in spiritual maturity (Phil. 3:12–14; Col. 1:28)

• A desire to see God’s people formed through the Word and Spirit (John 17:17; 2 Cor. 3:18)

• Experience leading congregational singing in a church context

• Strong piano proficiency (required); guitar strongly desired

• Comfort working with a variety of musical settings, including organ, choir, strings, guitars, etc.

• Familiar with/openness to liturgical worship and Anglican theology and practice

• Ability to disciple, organize, and pastor volunteers well (2 Tim. 2:2)

• A heart for intergenerational worship (Deut. 6:4–7; Ps. 145:4)
