Shepherd Staff is honored to be working with LifePoint Church in Ozark, Missouri, as they search for their next Worship Pastor. LifePoint is a 20-year-old, growing, multigenerational church with a warm, family feel, and a mission to lead people to be real Christ-followers in life together.

He is an outgoing, highly relational shepherd with a humble, generous spirit—approachable, people-focused, and eager to care for and invest in the worship and production teams. Musically, he is a strong, modern, band-driven leader who prioritizes singable, theologically rich songs that help the whole church engage in worship. He is a collaborative, visionary partner to the Lead Pastor and elders, a joyful team player who fits a multigenerational, family-heavy church and is excited to help shape LifePoint’s worship culture for the future.
