Our weekly 11:00 worship is lively, joyful, and multi-generational. The music leader oversees our committed choir and encourages congregational participation, which sometimes includes other musicians. The ideal candidate will have broad knowledge of contemporary worship music, excellent musicianship on guitar, and a collaborative working style. In addition, they will help track music licenses and ensure fair use. Familiarity with Episcopal worship and openness to working with children in the choir is desired.
Compensation & Time Expectations
