Worship Leader Part Time

Cornerstone Baptist Church is a church plant in Germantown, TN, located just east of Memphis (www.cbcgermantown.org).  We are a mission-minded church and have a strong desire to be used by the Lord to reach our community for Christ.  We believe that worship is the result of a life filled with His Spirit (Eph 5:18-21) and that as God’s people worship Him, He encourages them and strengthens them for life and work.  We are prayerfully seeking a worship leader who has a passion for leading God’s people in corporate worship and who can bring together the theological strength of worship songs and hymns that will create and enrich the worship experience for all members of the congregation.  We are confident that God has a special person for this position and our prayer is that God will reveal His will to that individual and to our church.
