Responsibilities

• Set a compelling vision for worship across Parkview’s campuses, including its future growth and potential future campuses.

• Lead, disciple, coach, and equip Worship Department staff, supporting their personal, spiritual, and leadership development.
• Build teams and shift from a paid, gig-based model toward a strong volunteer leadership culture.
