JOB OPPORTUNITY

DIRECTOR OF WORSHIP ARTS
ERIE CAMPUS

HISTORY & CURRENT STATUS

Calvary Bible Church is a multi-campus church in Boulder, Erie, and Thornton, Colorado. We began in Boulder in 1889 and have a history of kingdom impact in our local communities and around the world. We have planted several churches over the years, sent and support 45 global mission efforts, and have worked to influence our region with the grace and truth of Jesus Christ through biblical teaching and service to our communities.

The Erie campus, which began meeting at Erie High School with 200 members, was launched in 2006. In 2014, that campus moved into a 27,000 sq ft campus on 11 acres where it is today. Calvary Erie currently has about 1200 attenders each Sunday morning and continues to experience growth.

In 2020, we launched Calvary Online, and the Thornton Campus, which meets in a building that was generously donated to us.

Calvary has always been about building a Christ-centered community of people fully devoted to loving God and loving others. This shows up in every area of the church – philosophically in teaching and spiritual growth opportunities, practically in serving the surrounding community, and missionally by our participatory commitment to local and global initiatives.

SHAPING VALUES

• Biblical Authority: We submit our lives to the teaching of God’s Word.
• Prayer in Faith: We believe that God accomplishes His will through our prayers.
• Loving Relationships: We commit ourselves to pursue authentic community.
• Moral Excellence: We pursue deeper holiness in everyday living.

OUR VISION

STAFF VALUES

In addition to our church-wide values, we have five staff values that provide the foundation of our staff culture:

• Empowerment: We give our staff the authority to accomplish their job duties and expect them to be self-starters.
• Development: An important part of our growth is personal development, and we en courage our staff to seek out opportunities to grow and learn through conferences, training and mentoring programs.
• Accountability: As we steward our God given resources, we expect our staff to have high attention to results and we measure our accomplishments.
• Authenticity: Acknowledging the ebbs and flows of life and faith, our staff exhibits genuine faith and shares their life with others.
• Camaraderie: We encourage and enjoy each other as we work together as a team.

WORSHIP & MINISTRY CONTEXT

Worship through music is highly valued at Calvary Bible Church. We value sound doctrine and rich theology in our songs, with an equal focus on distraction-free, engaging worship environments. Calvary has a strong value in congregational singing. We sing songs from artists like Worship Initiative, Hillsong Worship, Vertical Worship, and All Sons & Daughters, while regularly incorporating both traditional and modern hymns.

The worship team regularly uses in-ear monitors with Ableton Live and click/multitrack playback support. We continue to have an openness to fresh ideas as long as the Biblical foundation remains solid. We want to be intentional in this next season about building a culture of worship that is engaging, enthusiastic, and full of passion as we encounter the presence of God together.
