Fort Garry United Church, an urban congregation in south Winnipeg seeks a church musician to start work mid-August or September 2025. Music is an important element of worship for our congregation, with an adult choir and strong appreciation for music. This is a part-time, term position, lasting 10-12 months, with the possibility of renewal or future permanent position. Approximately 8-10 hours per week including weekly Sunday services and choir rehearsals.

We prefer candidates with experience in piano, choral direction, and organ. However, we are open to the possibility of hiring two individuals with different skill sets or one person who possesses both piano and choral direction experience.

Responsibilities include one choir rehearsal weekly (Thursday evenings) for 9 months of the year (September-May), along with piano and/or organ leadership for Sunday and special services, and music selection in consultation with the Minister. The musician will also provide music for funerals and weddings for an additional set fee. During July and August, we often share services with other churches, with Fort Garry United Church providing music leadership for 2-3 Sundays.

A Yamaha Grand Piano and an Allen Organ are provided. Remuneration follows RCCO guidelines, or as negotiated. Application deadline is June 23, 2025.
