Worship searches
Find the worship pastor your church is praying for.
Hiring a worship pastor, worship director or worship leader? Job boards reach the people who are looking. We reach the ones who aren’t.
Why churches call us
The right worship pastor is rarely on a job board.
The people you want are usually happy where they are, building teams and serving their church well. We search nationally, approach them personally and vet every one for competency, culture and chemistry before you ever see a name.
A pastor first
We look for someone who shepherds the band, grows volunteers and helps your whole room sing, not just someone with a great voice.
Fit for your church
Your style, your theology and your Sunday flow shape the search from day one, so every candidate already makes sense for you.

No consulting. No coaching. Just the hunt, with one of our principal search consultants with you from start to finish.
