Worship Pastor Full Time

Worship Pastor Position

Bartlesville First Baptist Church | Bartlesville, Oklahoma

Bartlesville First Baptist Church (BFBC) is a historic, downtown church in the thriving community of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. With a rich legacy of faithful ministry and Christ-centered worship, BFBC is committed to building on that foundation as we seek God’s direction for our next Worship Pastor.

BFBC is a growing, vibrant, multi-generational church with over 400 active members. Our worship ministry is strong and well-supported, composed of gifted musicians and vocalists who are eager to serve and be led well.

We are seeking a Worship Pastor who is first and foremost a shepherd—someone who loves Christ, loves people, and is called to pastoral ministry. This individual will lead our church in authentic, Christ-exalting worship while investing in the spiritual growth of those they serve.

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will be:

A born-again believer with a clear calling to pastoral ministry
A pastor first and a musician second
A humble, servant-hearted leader—not a performer
A strong team player who fits well within our staff culture
A person of integrity with a strong work ethic and commitment to excellence
A gifted musician and vocalist with the ability to lead and develop others
A person with other skills and abilities, as this will be a dual role based on the person’s giftings

Worship Philosophy

Our church values worship that reflects the biblical vision of Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19—singing “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs” that are Christ-centered, theologically sound, and musically excellent. We draw from a wide range of modern worship songs and hymn-based resources that encourage the church to sing with gratitude and praise to the Lord. We also deeply value historic hymns, rooted in sound doctrine.

Our Desire

We are praying for a leader who will:

Faithfully shepherd and disciple those in the worship ministry
Lead our congregation in meaningful, Christ-centered worship
Equip and empower others to use their gifts for the glory of God
Help cultivate a culture of worship that extends beyond Sunday mornings
