Minister of Music/Cantor

First Lutheran (ELCA) is seeking a part-time minister of music/cantor to help continue a long history of excellence in worship and music. In addition to serving as the organist for all worship services (on our well-maintained three-manual 56-rank Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1155, rebuilt and enlarged in 1989), the minister of music/cantor directs the Chancel Choir (open to high school and older) and collaborates with the pastor in worship planning.

The successful candidate will have gifts in leading the liturgy and congregational hymn-singing and working with musicians of all ages and skill levels, in addition to good interpersonal skills. First uses the Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnal, supplemented on occasion by hymns from WOV and ACS, and values the historic liturgy of the church. The approximately 20-25 hour/week position (variable based on choir/church season) is expected to grow. Mid-point of salary range (based on experience and education) is $40,000. Health care and other benefits are available (employee only).
