The Church of the Transfiguration (Anglican) in St. Catharines, ON seeks a part-time Music Director (8 – 12 hours/week) who is enthusiastic about working as part of a team with ministry, lay staff and volunteers to present traditional and contemporary music that will appeal to and involve congregants of all ages.

Music is a high priority for this 150-member congregation. The Church of the Transfiguration utilizes an electric keyboard to accompany worship music. We have a dedicated choir and other musicians who frequently participate in the worship. Our ideal candidate will use his/her creativity to support the musical message of our parish.

The music director would be responsible for both accompaniment and choir direction as well as providing music as appropriate throughout our Sunday service at 10:30 am. Currently we have 15 choir members (SAT). We typically have choir practice on Thursday evenings.

Please note that until COVID rules allow, choir and choir practice are both suspended. We will have two identical Sunday services at 9:00 am and 11:00 am to accommodate social distancing. We wish to have the same music – instrumental – at both services.

Interested applicants should apply to transfigchurchoffice@gmail.com with a résumé and indicate expected hourly rate. We will work to set up an in-person interview/audition with interested candidates (appropriately socially distanced). We hope for a start date for Advent 2020 but can accommodate the appropriate candidate as necessary.

All applications will be confidential until discussed with the candidate (eg. – seeking references).

This posting will remain open until October 31, 2020 or until the position is filled.
