Crossroads Church is a passionate, growing community of faith where we are intentional about welcoming people in, growing them in their faith and sending them out to be all that God calls them to. Our church is conveniently located in Concord, North Carolina just outside of Charlotte. The Queen city has so much to offer, including being the home of the Carolina Panthers and other major attractions, and is close to both the Blue Ridge Mountains and coastline.

The Music Director assists the Worship Pastor in fostering an increasingly devoted “house of worshipers” and culture of seeking the manifest presence of God, through pursuing excellence and creativity in all aspects of the musical life of the church.  The Music Director works closely in a team-driven environment with the Pastors, Creative Team Staff members and Tech Team.
