Position Summary
TLCC is seeking a passionate, Christ-centered individual to serve as our Worship Arts / IT Resident for one year. The salary would be $20,000 + and negotiable depending on experience, qualifications, housing needs etc. This residency is designed for someone who feels called to ministry and wants to grow in both creative worship leadership and technical excellence.

The role blends worship planning/leadership with audio/visual (A/V), lighting, video production, and IT support.
