Part-Time Director of Music
Primary duties are to coordinate, plan and implement a comprehensive music ministry that

two Sunday services per week, during which an organist plays. The earlier service routinely has
a soloist, and the later service has a soloist and volunteer choir; and we often have a musician
accompany the organ on a variety of instruments. The church is also blessed to have a handbell
and chimes choir. The Director of Music will report to the Pastor and the Staff-Parish Relations
Committee.

Primary duties are to play the organ during the 8:30am and 10:00am Sunday worship services,
and to play during choir rehearsals presently scheduled on Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm.
Additional responsibilities will include special rehearsals and services throughout the year
including Christmas Eve, Easter and Lenten services. The ideal candidate will be a flexible team
member with a deep understanding of the role of a musician in worship.
