WORSHIP pastor
The opportunity
Lakeside Christian Church has been faithfully rooted in Northern Kentucky for nearly 60 years, growing from a small community of believers into a multi-generational, multi-campus church that’s helping people belong and grow throughout the region.
Now, in a new season of momentum, Lakeside is seeking a Worship Pastor who will help shape a culture of worship that is as deep as it is wide—a culture that draws people closer to Jesus while developing and empowering others to lead.
This is more than a music role. It’s a pastoral calling—an invitation to cultivate environments where people encounter the presence of God, discover belonging in community, and live out faith that impacts the world around them. The right leader will blend spiritual maturity with creative leadership, championing excellence, humility, and authenticity in every expression of worship.
lakeside church
Founded in 1967, Lakeside Christian Church has always been about transformation—seeing God change hearts, families, and communities. Across its multiple campuses in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati region, Lakeside continues to be a church where people from every generation and background can experience grace and truth in action.
The mission is simple yet profound: to help people belong and grow. Whether through weekend gatherings, community outreach, or next-generation ministry, everything at Lakeside points people toward life with Jesus and life together.
Lakeside’s staff culture reflects five key commitments:
Take It Personally – Own the mission; live it out daily.
Make It Better Together – Collaboration over competition.
Empower Others – Build leaders, not followers.
Chase Health – Lead from overflow, not exhaustion.
Remain Openhanded – Trust God with the outcome.
These commitments are more than staff values—they’re a way of life. The team leads with authenticity, works with excellence, and celebrates what God is doing in and through His church.
