Imagine a breathtaking view of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge; that’s Berkeley CA. Berkeley is nestled just below the mountains in a region referred to by its residents as “The East Bay.” This could be where your next ministry with Christ Church East Bay Worship Director would call home.
Christ Church was started in 2005-06 out of the Redeemer Presbyterian NYC church planting network (e.g. Tim Keller) and is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The church is growing intergenerational, multicultural with mostly white and Asian folks, and a growing community of Black and Latino folks. They have always sought to be a church where people can belong before they believe, exploring the historic Christian faith alongside each other week by week.
Christ Church East Bay has one worship service (80-90min) with consistent liturgy: a call to worship, confession of sin, assurance of pardon, passing of peace, sermon, creedal confession, Lord’s Prayer, Communion, offering, and benediction with songs throughout, with an expositional preaching style.
If looking for ways to beautifully integrate worship with the liturgy throughout the service makes your heart run fast, then keep reading. Christ Church focuses on finding a balanced and blended approach to incorporating old hymns and contemporary songs (think City Alight as an example). Christ Church longs to lead the way in finding worship that moves the hearts of Gen Z while honoring the beauty of the liturgical roots. Christ Church’s style could be characterized as “ancient-future” worship that combines the best elements of the Christian tradition while also embracing modern worship elements.
The Worship Director must have a passion for worship as a whole way of life directed toward the Kingdom of God and for ushering the Christ Church family into the presence of God. The role and responsibility is to oversee all elements of worship gathering programming.
