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.

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.
