As Cedar Hill arrives in 2024, we are excited to see what God will do as we search for our next Music Director. Below will give you a job description and an email address to submit your resume to if you feel God is leading you to apply.

Who we are…

We at Cedar Hill want you to use your God-given abilities to engage the congregation by using our choir, praise team, and orchestra as tools in worship to lead us all into the Presence of God. The worship leader should be committed to engaging in the lives of our members where others want to be more involved in our music ministry. We expect the worship leader to spend time in prayer seeking the Lord in what songs should be implemented on a weekly basis for our congregation, choir, and praise team. We are looking for a team player who is high energy and has a passion for using their gifts to glorify the Lord

 

Our Present State…

We would be considered a blended style of worship that has been blessed with a talented choir, praise team, and instrumentalists. As Cedar Hill moves forward, we strongly believe that we have been called to be a church that offers traditional hymns as well as praise and worship music. We have a conviction to reach every generation for Christ. God has pressed on our hearts to use our music ministry as a resource to connect each generation in worship. Our ultimate goal is for each person who walks through the doors of the church, to leave being able to say, “it has been good to be in the house of the Lord today.”
