Position: All Nations Worship Coordinator

Compensation: 20 hours/week starting at $18/hour

Reports to: Co-Pastor Andrew

Summary of Worship within COS:

COS embraces a liturgical framework that draws on holy scripture to guide the planning of formal worship. This takes precedence over a particular musical or artistic style. COS values drawing on the diverse gifts, multi-generations, backgrounds, and cultures of the members of COS and the broader church to usher in authentic worship that acknowledges the Trinity of God and is beautifully eclectic in nature. Our worship also draws upon the traditions of the faith that have glorified God and served the church well over the centuries, as well as seeking out new expressions of worship that would be appropriately fitting to our diverse congregation.

The All Nations Service (formerly the Basic English Service - BES) began in April 2009 for English language learners. This includes New Americans who have arrived in the USA as refugees or asylum seekers. Worshippers include New Americans and American-born folks; former refugees and asylum seekers; international college and seminary students; young children and retirees. The service is relaxed and welcoming to all.

Position Summary:

To cultivate, empower, and sustain a multicultural, multilingual worshipping community. The All Nations Worship Coordinator will work as part of a team consisting of Co-Pastor Andrew, Co-Pastor Karen, All Nations music teams, the All Nations Music Assistant, and the SES Worship Coordinator. A key component for cultivating multicultural worship will be building relationships across a variety of cultures.

In collaboration with the team listed above, the All Nations Worship Coordinator will find creative ways to gather songs and enable them to be sung as part of the worship services that ensures a colorful expression of kingdom worship across cultures. This requires creating space for the spiritual gifts of many congregants to be offered in the service. Overseeing the weekly administration of the service, from volunteer involvement to service planning, is also key to the success of this position.
