The Associate Worship Pastor is primarily responsible for leading and building the worship experience for our campus and church online attenders.

At Life.Church, we exist to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. It’s been our mission since 1996 and has guided us every day. Leading people isn’t just an expectation; it’s a necessity. It’s a cornerstone of our culture. That's why we’re always seeking leaders—leaders like you—to bring your skills to life. We are one church meeting in multiple locations, and we want to help you become the person God made you to be.

The Life.Church Worship Team inspires and moves people towards Christ by creating spiritual experiences through story-telling and biblical truth. Worship is the musical expression of Life.Church. It’s the first part of a service that people experience and often the time they identify as what makes a campus “theirs.” It sets the stage for the message of the day, and it primes people for life change.

The Associate Worship Pastor will provide musical and technical leadership to pursue excellence for worship experiences. Additionally, the Associate Worship Pastor will support the Worship Pastor by leading various ministerial services, such as weddings, baptisms, funerals, and hospital visits.

Partnership prepares Pasco County kids for school.

Partnership prepares Pasco County kids for school. WESLEY CHAPEL - AdventHealth partnered with Life Church on Aug. 1 to help local students head back to class with confidence through the church's annual Back-to-School Outreach event. Throughout the morning, families received shoes, backpacks and school supplies while volunteers worked alongside community members to help students prepare for the first day of school. AdventHealth helped provide 450 pairs of new shoes for local kids and had volunteers onsite helping distribute resources and support families throughout the event. For many families, preparing for a new school year means making difficult choices as the cost of clothes, shoes and school supplies continues to rise. Events like this help ensure students can walk into the classroom with the essentials they need for a successful start. "I'd say the impact is huge," said Earl Watson, a volunteer from AdventHealth Wesley Chapel. "The climate we're living in, the economy, so many families are making sacrifices. This shouldn't have to be one of them." Life Church leaders say the outreach has become an important annual tradition that brings together churches, businesses, volunteers and nonprofit organizations to help local families prepare for the school year ahead. "Just a couple of years ago, we saw a huge need in our community for our students to not just go back to school, but to go back to school confidently - to go back with new shoes, new backpacks, with no one making fun of them," said Natalie Dougherty of Life Church. "Just having them fit right. It's extremely important." Life Church saw nearly 1,000 children participate in this year's outreach.
