evening service, etc) -- we have others who can lead on guitar.
This individual will oversee the music ministry, including its administration and background work:
attending regular meetings with church staff, recruiting and scheduling musicians, running rehearsals,
overseeing special services, etc. We have two other part-time administrators who would be available to help; we work collaboratively as a staff.
We are seeking an a_noemailplished pianist who can read music and also play by ear with the goal of
expanding our diversity of musical genres (classical, hymns, blues/gospel, latino, etc) as well as integrating multicultural/global dimensions in our service -- utilizing many of the gifted musicians in our
congregation. There are possibilities for a seasonal adult/children's choir in our future as well.
