Worship Director/Associate Pastor

Position: Worship Director/Associate PastorJob Description

The Worship Director at Anthem has the responsibility of creating engaging worship services where people can know and experience the love and grace of Jesus in meaningful ways. This includes the planning, design, and production of services, as well as supporting continuous improvement of the worship ministry.

About Us

Anthem is a young and diverse church with a weekly attendance of 130, on a mission “to awaken every[one] around us to the life God has for us.” We are a church where people consistently encounter God and experience transformation in a region where many have never previously met Jesus. We have witnessed lives changed and hearts awakened, and regularly baptize individuals into faith. We are known for our vibrant, warm, and joyful community—welcoming people no matter where they are in their faith journey. Our worship is passionate and honest, creating a space where authenticity and deep connection with God thrives.

Over the past six years, we’ve seen God turn disconnected individuals into a family. While the spiritual landscape of New England can feel like rocky soil, we believe that the God for whom nothing is impossible is growing healthy churches that will flourish and bring His Kingdom to this influential part of the world.

Located along Boston’s tech corridor—just 15 miles northwest of downtown—our community is rooted in a family-friendly area that attracts people from around the world for opportunities in startups, education, and the military. Currently, we rent space from another church while actively preparing to acquire a building of our own within the next 12–24 months.
