Director of Worship Ministries

Trenton Baptist Church is located in rural Todd County, KY, just 10 minutes from Exit 1 in Clarksville, TN. We emphasize expository preaching, the centrality of the local church, meaningful church membership, family discipleship, and the Great Commission of Matthew 28. Our congregation values doctrinally-sound worship music and is most accustomed to the great hymns of the faith as well as theologically-rich modern hymns by artists such as the Gettys, Matt Boswell, City Alight, and Sovereign Grace Worship. The ideal candidate will both appreciate our existing church culture and faithfully lead us into the future.

Commitment

• Minimum of 10-15 hours per week, with flexibility to accommodate the Director’s primary job and the church’s more seasonally demanding times (e.g., Christmas and Easter).
• Certain candidates who can provide ancillary services may be eligible for increased hours.
• The Director will be an involved member of Trenton Baptist Church, valued as a church member to be cared for and nurtured.

Qualifications

• Be a committed Christian, a member of Trenton Baptist Church, and set a Christian example for the congregation in word and deed.

• Agree, without any mental reservation, to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, the Nashville Statement on Biblical Sexuality, and Trenton Baptist Church’s current Church Covenant.
• Operate as a valued team-member alongside and under the authority of the church’s Pastor and the congregation, mediated through the Deacon body.
• Demonstrate the ability to respond biblically to situations of conflict, working always toward the unity of the local church under Christ (Eph. 4:3).
