We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "The Worship Leader is part of the staff team and is to have one goal in mind – introducing people to Jesus Christ and enabling them to grow in a personal relationship with him." That's about the role.
- Then bullet-like sentences: "Music, Media, and Worship Support the mission and message of the church through the music and worship service by: Prayer, planning, design, and execution. Selecting and preparing music for each of the worship services. Plan and coordinate and lead music for seasonal services (i.e. Christmas, Easter, etc.), revivals and/or conferences. Maintain appropriate musicians and vocalists for worship services. Recruit new volunteers and regularly train existing volunteers to pursue spiritual and musical excellence. Manage a rotating schedule for musicians, vocalists, and the media team. Conduct weekly rehearsals and ensure all technical aspects of worship, including audio and visual (A/V) media. Recruit and maintain appropriate workers for sound and technology presentations. Maintain appropriate instrumentation and technology associated with worship. This includes lighting, sound reinforcement, computer support for playback, and projection. Develop and manage technology, equipment, and overall ministry budget in consultation with the senior pastor and finance committee. Assist in the creation and/or procurement of videos and/or other creative elements for Sunday morning services. This may include: Original video ideas Movie and/or television clips Dramas Testimonials Other"
- Then "Expectations and Duties Serves under the supervision of the Senior Pastor, carrying out assignments given by the Senior Pastor. Being willing to assist in other areas beyond just the realm of worship ministry. Support the Senior Pastor in the overall vision, casting, and leadership of the church. Be active in making disciples. Assist the Senior Pastor in the management of local media, communication, social media outlets, and overall Web presence. Perform other duties as assigned by the Senior Pastor. These may include assisting Senior Pastor in outreach, hospital visits, and home visits to members and non-members, if available, Administrative Duties Maintain an inventory of church property and equipment related to this ministry area. Develop recommendations for appropriate committees and ministry teams on financial matters and implement procedures in accordance with policies approved by the stewardship committee. Ensure compliance with all applicable government regulations and reporting requirements. All staff members will be expected to assist in other tasks when necessary, so long as their primary responsibilities are met."
- Then "Education and Experience Prefer a Bachelor’s Degree, in music, theology, or related ministry field; in pursuit of a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree is acceptable. At least 2 to 5 years’ experience preferred as a staff member in a ministry leadership capacity. The candidate is someone who is a self-starter and does not require a great deal of supervision."
- Then "Salary based on experience and skill set."
- Then a paragraph about expectations: "The Worship Minister will remember that he is the living expression of the Holy God and is expected to live an exemplary life, both public and private. He will always manifest a regard for the good reputation of the church, its ministries as well as its Senior Pastor and other staff members. He will hold in confidence all information of a delicate or personal nature unless specifically given permission to do so. He is expected to support FBCQC with his time, talents, and tithe. Any violation of trust or any action that would bring shame on the cause of Christ or FBCQC will be brought before the appropriate committee designated by the church body for discipline and/or dismissal."
- Then application instructions: "To apply for this job email your details to musicsearch@fbcqc.org You can apply to this job and others using your online resume. Click the link below to submit your online resume and email your application to this employer."
We need to remove boilerplate: application instructions, EEO, etc. So we drop the application instructions lines.
We need to keep substantive info: about the role, responsibilities, expectations/duties, administrative duties, education/experience, salary, personal conduct expectations (maybe part of responsibilities or qualifications). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: only include if posting actually states them. Salary is mentioned: "Salary based on experience and skill set." That's specific enough? It says salary based on experience and skill set, not a number. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary based on experience and skill set, which is a statement about pay. So we can include a Pay section with that sentence. Benefits: none mentioned. Schedule: none mentioned (no mention of hours, full-time/part-time). So we omit Benefits and Schedule.
Now sections: About the role (intro). Responsibilities: we can combine the bullet list of duties (music, media, worship support, planning, selecting music, seasonal services, maintain musicians, recruit/train volunteers, manage schedule, conduct rehearsals, technical aspects, recruit workers for sound/tech, maintain instrumentation, develop/manage budget, assist creation/procurement of videos, etc.) Also expectations and duties (serves under senior pastor, assist in other areas, support vision, make disciples, manage media/communication/social media/web presence, perform other duties as assigned, assist in outreach/hospital/home visits). Administrative duties: maintain inventory, develop recommendations for committees, implement procedures, ensure compliance, assist in other tasks when necessary. Those could be part of responsibilities.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should put responsibilities as a list.
Requirements: maybe education and experience? Actually "Education and Experience" is a section. Could be Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we need to map content.
We have Education and Experience: prefer Bachelor's degree in music, theology, or related ministry field; pursuit of Bachelor's or Master's acceptable. At least 2 to 5 years' experience preferred as a staff member in a ministry leadership capacity. Candidate is self-starter, does not require great deal of supervision.
That could go under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide: Requirements = education and experience. Qualifications maybe skills? But we also have skills: maybe "self-starter", "musical excellence", "technical aspects", "budget management", etc. But we can treat skills as part of responsibilities. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Pay. Possibly also Skills if we have distinct skill list. But we can combine skills into responsibilities.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading "Worship Leader". Good.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Thus produce something like:

Pay
Salary based on experience and skill set.
We should not include Benefits or Schedule. Check for any repeated content: we have covered all substantive info. We removed application instructions. We kept the expectations about exemplary life, confidentiality, support FBCQC with time/talents/tithe, violation of trust discipline. That content is not yet included. Should we include that? It's part of expectations and duties maybe under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Expectations". The posting includes a paragraph about "The Worship Minister will remember that he is the living expression of the Holy God..." That's substantive. We should include it. Where? Could be under Responsibilities as a list item, or maybe a separate section like "Expectations". But we only have predefined headings; we could add a section "Expectations" but not in the list? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we could also use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. We could incorporate that content into Responsibilities or maybe a new section "Qualifications" (character qualifications). But Qualifications is about skills/attributes. The paragraph about exemplary life, confidentiality, support FBCQC, violation of trust is more about expectations/character. Could fit under Qualifications. Let's put under Qualifications. Thus we add a Qualifications section with list items: live exemplary life public/private, regard for good reputation of church, hold confidential information, support FBCQC with time/talents/tithe, violation of trust leads to discipline. We need to ensure we don't create a section with filler text. This is substantive. Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay. Check if any other content: "Assist in the creation and/or procurement of videos and/or other creative elements for Sunday morning services. This may include: Original video ideas Movie
