Worship Director/Pastor

Ridgefield Church of the Nazarene is looking for an experienced worship leader to not only lead our congregation in worship, but also to coach the worship and tech teams and take responsibility for weekend worship services. To get a taste of our worship experience and musical style, check out our livestreams at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojZV5lhHPJz6LQU3S7K7Ag
