Edenton Street UMC is seeking a full-time Director to lead The Gathering, our worshiping community grounded in the rhythms of Christian liturgy, discipleship, and mission, where hospitality and surprising friendship are at the heart of our life together.

The Director helps to lead the life of The Gathering through musical direction, discipleship, and creative collaboration with laity, staff, and clergy. Key responsibilities include:

• Leading worship through musical direction, vocal leadership, and creative planning

• Recruiting, training, and guiding the band and worship volunteers

• Partnering with youth, college, and young adult ministries

• Participating fully in the broader life of ESUMC

We're looking for a disciple of Jesus Christ with a working knowledge of the church's liturgy and curiosity for both ancient and modern worship practices. Candidates should have three or more years of worship leadership experience and strong musical gifts, including expertise in at least one instrument (guitar or piano preferred). They should also communicate well and love collaborating with people of all ages and backgrounds.

To apply, send a resume and cover letter to applications@esumc.org
