Description
PURPOSE The Director(s) of Music Ministries is responsible to the Rector for the leadership and development of the music ministries of St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church. The Director works collaboratively with clergy, staff, volunteer musicians, and other music leaders to support the worship, formation, and community life of the parish. The Director provides vision, musical leadership, recruitment, training, and pastoral support for singers and instrumentalists, helping cultivate a vibrant and participatory culture of music-making that reflects the diversity of the congregation and the wider community. VISION St. Michael's has traditionally built its music ministries through the gifts of volunteer singers and instrumentalists from within the congregation (though we do have a few paid musicians in the groups as well). We value music not only as an offering in worship, but as a means of building Christian community. We seek leaders who will recruit, develop, encourage, and celebrate musicians of varying skill levels while fostering musical excellence, broad participation, and spiritual growth. We are especially interested in candidates who bring creativity, initiative, and the capacity to build a program for the future, rather than simply maintaining what they have done before or what the parish has done in the past. ONE MINISTRY, TWO DISTINCT PROGRAMS 11:15 Chancel Choir: Anglican choral tradition, congregational hymnody, and seasonal liturgical repertoire. Leadership requires strength in choral conducting, vocal development, and traditional church music. 9:00 Coro de Luz: An ensemble-based music ministry rooted in collaborative leadership among singers and instrumentalists. The director serves as a builder of musical community, recruiting and developing vocalists and instrumentalists, encouraging participation across generations, and cultivating an ensemble capable of leading bilingual and multicultural worship. Our Search: We recognize that the gifts needed to lead the Chancel Choir and Coro de Luz may be found in one person or in multiple leaders. Accordingly, we are open to hiring either one Director of Music Ministries to oversee both programs or separate directors for each ensemble. Candidates with strengths in either area, or in both, are encouraged to apply.
