Finding a competent, suitable musician for a religious organisation of any size, tradition, and scope of music program takes considerable time and effort in order to find a good match. It is highly recommended that congregations and their representatives utilise the advice of experienced church musicians to assess levels of training, the allocation of time related to work required, or contractual details. To do that, members of the RCCO Professional Support Committee are available (free of charge) to assist, and can be contacted through the National Office or local Centres.

The RCCO seeks to support churches and other employers in Canada. The services provided include:

• advertising of employment opportunities to RCCO members online and in print (see below)
• table of recommended salaries, revised annually
• the publication The Employment of a Church Musician
• model employment contracts for employees and self-employed contract positions

Clarification and analysis of these documents will always be available by contacting the Professional Support group through the National Office.
