Treeline Church
DIRECTOR OF WORSHIP & ARTS
ABOUT THE CHURCH
Treeline Church is a gospel-centered, multigenerational church in Ann Arbor, Michigan, committed to cultivating authentic followers of Jesus. The church emphasizes biblical teaching, intentional discipleship, authentic community, and reaching the next generation, with a particular focus on college students through its Salt Company ministry. Treeline seeks to create a welcoming environment for both committed Christians and those exploring faith, while equipping people to live on mission locally and help start new churches and campus ministries.
Sunday services usually start and end with live worship music and a full band. We have a mixture of modern worship music as well as some historic hymns. One of our pastors will teach through a passage of scripture in a way that is clear, applicable to our lives, and helps us all see Jesus more clearly. We celebrate communion every other week and often have times of prayer and personal reflection.
