Background Information
Sunnyside Wesleyan Church (SWC) is becoming a multi-site church: one church, many locations. At the SWC Old Ottawa South location there are two congregations with a total of approximately 350 people attending 9am and 11am Sunday morning services. By Easter 2010, 60-80 people will be released from the Old Ottawa South location to establish a third Sunnyside congregation in Downtown Ottawa.

Job Summary
We are looking to hire a part-time worship pastor for the new Sunnyside Wesleyan Church location in Downtown Ottawa. He/she will be required to be mentored for at least 6 months by pastoral staff in order to gain understanding about philosophy of worship and receive skills training and character training as a worship pastor at Sunnyside. It would be understood that although worship style is important, it is not the main thing at Sunnyside Wesleyan Church. Worship style and skill come second to a heart of worship.
Funds will be designated toward the worship pastor’s education in Wesleyan doctrine and distinctives through Equipping for Ministry courses at Houghton College, FLAME courses or correspondence courses through the Wesleyan Church. He/she must be willing to become a member of the Wesleyan Church. He/she would also be encouraged to attend at least one worship-related seminar/conference each year.
His/her salary will be in line with current salaries at Sunnyside Wesleyan Church and the Local Board of Administration (LBA) will determine details of the salary. Salary and contract will be subject to review by LBA annually.
The following is a description of the part-time worship pastor’s responsibilities:
- Lead worship at least 3 out of 4 Sundays at the downtown site, coordinating with Pastor Darren Dicks (Worship Pastor at SWC Old Ottawa South location) to develop an order of worship.
- Coordinate and direct the worship team at the downtown location.
- Train and release additional worship leaders, allowing them to develop through co-leading worship or through leading worship alone 1 Sunday each month.
- Attend and oversee worship practice times in collaboration with Pastor Darren Dicks.
- Attend weekly staff meetings for staff of Sunnyside Wesleyan Church.
- Submit monthly Board reports to the LBA describing the outworking of ministry responsibilities.
- Identify the unique “heart music” of downtown people and explore how different genres of worship music may be effectively used in the worship service while also keeping in line with Sunnyside philosophy of worship.
- Gain ongoing training in worship leadership and Wesleyan theology.
- Explore and plan for creative outreach events, through music, that invite secular people to worship.
- Teach the Sunnyside downtown congregation how to worship as a lifestyle.
- Engage in other related pastoral duties.
