Westway Baptist Church – Part-Time Music Ministry Leader

Westway Baptist Church, a loving and welcoming congregation in Houston, TX, is seeking a Part-Time Music Ministry Leader to join us in worship and ministry. Our mission is to glorify God and grow His kingdom by leading His people in worship through music.

About Us

We are a warm and caring church family, averaging 125 in weekly attendance. Our congregation leans toward a traditional style of worship, with a strong love for hymns, while also embracing a growing blend of contemporary music. We desire to balance both styles in a way that glorifies God and engages the church in meaningful worship.

We are blessed with a talented church organist and pianist who serve faithfully each week. Our previous music minister also directed a choir, and while choir leadership is not a requirement, we would welcome someone with the ability and desire to direct a choir in the future.

• Provide leadership and encouragement to volunteer musicians, choir members, and the congregation.
• Ensure compliance with copyright laws pertaining to selected media and materials.
• Prepare an annual budget for materials for music ministry.
• Maintain inventory of music materials purchased.

Qualifications

• A committed follower of Jesus Christ with a heart for worship and ministry.
• Musical ability to lead congregational singing (vocal and/or instrumental).
• Ability to blend traditional hymns with contemporary worship songs.
• Strong interpersonal skills to work with musicians and the congregation.
• Experience in choir directing is a plus, but not required.

Position Details

• Part-time role (approximately 6–10 hours per week).
• Compensation based on experience.
