Director of Kid's Ministry Kidzone Assistant

Director of Worship Search

The worship experience at Centerpoint Church is one of the primary ways we make Christ known. Every Sunday, under normal circumstances, people come to both our Hawarden and Sioux Center campuses because of the consistent experience they have in the proclamation of the Gospel and the way they experience God’s presence through modern worship.

We understand that our Sunday morning experience is significant. To that end, we have hired a national search firm named Slingshot to run our search process. Slingshot is the industry leader when it comes to worship director searches. We explored two other options, and after meeting with Slingshot, we decided they are the best partner to assist us in this process.

Our rep from Slingshot recently came for a site visit and met with members of the Centerpoint staff and volunteers involved in worship production at Centerpoint Church. During that visit, the Slingshot rep asked great questions and gathered information about Centerpoint Church, and both of our communities. We have provided them with additional information and anticipate our job posting will go live in the next few days.

Typically, searches of this nature can take between 3-6 months. Because our rep is running searches with multiple churches at a time, Slingshot already has some ideas about potential candidates who may be a good fit for us, which is great. While this is exciting, we also want to temper our expectations a touch given our context. Rural searches often take a bit longer than six months, so we have asked for grace from our volunteers and ask for grace from the congregation, as well.

We are grateful for our many volunteer worship leaders who so capably and willingly have served in these capacities in the past, and their willingness to lead us in worship in the future. In your prayers, please join us as we thank God for them. Also, be praying for the next Director of Worship at Centerpoint Church. We trust that God knows who that will be, and we are grateful for a faithful partner in Slingshot who will help us discern who God has chosen.

Community

In the midst of adversity, there is opportunity. Following the historic flooding in our region, we have witnessed so many people living on mission in our communities. As you will see below, people across multiple communities have stepped forward to help with sandbagging, cleaning up, demolition, making laundry soap, sanitizing saved items, housing displaced people, doing laundry for flood victims, offering a listening ear, and on and on we could go. We are so thankful for the ways Centerpoint Church has been served and for the ways the church is serving others!

Opportunities will continue to be available in the months ahead. Most insurance policies, including ours, will not cover the type of flooding we have experienced.

We have launched a capital campaign called “Restore Hawarden,” where we intend to raise money to help rebuild the community of Hawarden. Funds raised will assist in the restoration of our Hawarden campus and will assist in the rebuilding of Hawarden over the next months and even years.

We are committed to the community of Hawarden and its flourishing. We desire to invest in the community and the long-term reconstruction of the town. Specifically, we feel called to assist those who have the greatest need. If you are able, would you be willing to join us by giving above and beyond your tithe to bring restoration to our Hawarden community?
