Job Description:
Are you addicted to being awesome? Do more people than just your Mom think you can sing and play guitar? If so, God is probably calling you to Montana! One Missoula Church is looking for a mission-minded, discipleship-oriented, worship leader who smashes down obstacles and loathes grumbling and complaining. NO NEEDY CRYBABY DIVAS ALLOWED! We need you to build a team and lead worship in a modern rock style every three weeks through the fall of 2019 and then week-to-week starting the second week of January 2020. We can pay you a negotiable stipend for your skills and time while we discuss more permanent options and test you to see if you're legit. Let's be clear: this is the elite special forces version of church planting. Our lead planter left his homeland, parents, and beloved Florida Gators to move across the country a year ago and has been serving bi-vocationally in retail sales while gathering a launch team for the last 11 months. The church is just now large enough and generous enough for him to give this full-time attention. If you sign on for this, you will be expected to have the same missional "whatever-it-takes" spirit and mind. That means you are going to need to work bi-vocationally, or fundraise your own salary, or live off the inheritance Grandma left you when she passed (God rest her soul). If you are looking for an incredible missions/planting opportunity to die-to-yourself and rip Satan's head off, let's talk. If you're looking for a paycheck and a spotlight, keep moving.

Here's why you should come here:

You get to collaborate with a Jesus-loving, Bible preaching planting pastor who cares a great deal about excellence + truth + a boots-on-ground application of discipleship. If you jive with the vision and fast pace of the church, and can prove yourself tough enough to hang in this context, you will get to build a worship ministry from the ground up without having to deal with all the bad habits set in place from some negligent diva predecessor. You will get to live in a true American mission field. Missoula is a hyper-liberal college town of about 75,000 people suffering the ravages of their statism, secularism, hedonism, and new-agey weirdness. These awesome people are plagued by suicide, addiction, domestic violence, homelessness, debt and all the other unnecessary agony that comes from hostility toward Jesus Christ. If you are humble enough to respond to this post, you are going to be salt and light in this place and you will see radical transformation of real lives. Lastly, you will get to live in an incredibly beautiful place surrounded by mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, wolves, bear, elk, moose and our official state rodent - the deer. If you like snow skiing, snowboarding, snow mobiling, mountain biking, kayaking, rafting, hunting, shooting, camping, hiking, and peeing on trees, this place will be your heaven on earth. If you like to knit... well you could probably do that here too, but you will have a hard time connecting with the man beast dudes who make up our church. After all, this is Montana, where the men are men and the women are too.

Our IDEAL candidate would be...

...able to sing like an angel but also able to catch and kill an elk with his bare hands.

...Eddie van Halen's guitar teacher but also proficient with Ableton Live OR Loop Community/Prime app.

...a recruiting and discipleship Picasso.

...confused by (and maybe even hostile towards) skinny jeans.

...organized, punctual, driven and a destroyer of all excuses.

...addicted to being the best...and most humble person ever.

...able to live without food, shelter, clothing, or pay.

We might be willing to compromise on some of these, but something we will never yield on is that you must be seriously committed to Jesus Christ, His Church, His Word, and the expansion of His Kingdom by tearing through the gates of hell in this rebel world ravaged by sin.

Last note: Our website, like the rest of our church, is under construction. You can check it out, but know that is has some dated content and is missing some info about who we are and what we believe. The amazingly talented volunteer who put it together built it as a placeholder. She is now working with Subsplash on our app and website 2.0. If you come here, we will all bring our absolute best together.
