IMMEDIATE OPENING

Organist / Accompanist

The Music Ministry of First Church offers us the opportunity to worship God in music and song. Whether we listen actively, sing or play an instrument, music brings us closer to the heart of God and allows us to express what we cannot with mere words. And to do all of this in the area recently named the #1 BEST Ski Town in North America by readers of USA Today.

This church is an Open and Affirming church seeking an Organist/Accompanist to work with the Pastor and Choir Director by performing music on our Knabe grand piano and two manual Moller pipe organ. This includes using the organ and/or piano to provide a prelude and postlude for Sunday worship service, leading the congregation in hymns, and providing accompaniment for the choir, soloists, and musicians.

The primary instrument for worship is our 1984 Moller Pipe Organ. In 2006, the membership of First Church of Christ approved a major upgrade and modernization project for the organ. David E. Wallace, Pipe Organ Builders of Gorham, ME was contracted to undertake the rebuilding job. The project was proposed in three steps: I Great Division, II Swell Division and III Console. Work included new windchests, new pipe work, total solid state relay controls and reconfiguration of the console making it compatible with all upgrades made in the organ chamber. The organ project was completed in June of 2013 and the rebuilt instrument was dedicated during the morning worship service on October 26, 2014.

Salary is commensurate with experience and in line with the level for comparable positions in the area.
