Description
As a church that welcomes multiple generations, Paris Baptist blends contemporary and traditional music in its services. A part-time music leader should be a skilled instrumentalist and vocalist who can lead music in our Sunday worship services. They should also possess the leadership skills to help build teams and nurture the musical gifts of others in the congregation, helping us create a Spirit-led, impactful worship ministry that glorifies God and inspires our congregation to deepen their faith.
We are seeking someone who can commit to 25 hours per month, which would be about 6 hours per week, including 2 hours each Sunday for the weekly worship service. Twice per month, the music leader would assist the pastor by providing music at a regular outreach to local seniors’ care facilities. The music leader would be self-employed and report to the pastor. This is not a salary position.
