Job Description: 

The United Methodist Church of Clinton CT is seeking a permanent, organist/accompanist to play during our Sunday worship services as well as some other services throughout the year.  We are a small, friendly church, and the candidate would be warmly received and supported.

Located near Clinton center and Long Island Sound, the church has a vibrant music ministry.  Our faith community has been a vital religious presence at the heart of this town for nearly 200 years.

We have one Sunday worship service (10:00 AM).  Choir rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings (generally) and the choir also runs through the anthem just prior to the service.

Extra services are held seasonally including:

·        Thanksgiving ecumenical service

·        St. Lucia Festival (early December)

·        Christmas Eve (5:00 and 11:00)

·        Ash Wednesday

·        Maundy Thursday

·        Good Friday

The church has a well maintained 1914 Hall Pipe Organ, a baby grand piano, and an electric piano.  (fill in details on organ and piano) There is a separate choir director but it would be helpful if the organist could occasionally lead the choir from the keyboard when the choir director may be away.

The successful candidate will be responsible to plan, prepare, and provide organ and piano music for Sunday worship services and other church functions, and work closely with the minister, the choir director, and the church choir.
