MUSIC DIRECTOR POSITION – FULL TIME

Eastminster Presbyterian Church of Stone Mountain, Georgia, a mid-sized congregation located in the Greater Atlanta Area, is searching for a Music Director to lead a high-caliber music ministry. Applicants must have earned a Bachelor of Music degree. The strongest candidates will be proficiently trained in classical church music and possess the ability to incorporate and arrange a variety of musical styles to complement worship services.

Candidates should exhibit strong expertise in both choral directing and organ performance. Vocal abilities that enhance rehearsals and performances are an additional consideration. Our current music ministry includes adult, youth and children’s choirs and instrumental ensembles (hand bell choir, orchestra, and a contemporary vocal/instrumental ensemble), and we expect that the individual we hire will continue to organize and lead these activities. Eastminster’s new music director should be someone of strong Christian faith who translates the role of music into church life.

Eastminster has a tradition of excellence in music and is well appointed with quality instruments, including a Zimmer and Sons III/30 pipe organ, a Kawai grand piano, and four-octave and three-octave sets of Schulmerich hand bells. A Johannus ONE digital keyboard has recently been purchased. Paid section leader positions are funded for the choir. In 2017, celebrating Eastminster’s 50th anniversary, Daniel Gawthrop was commissioned to write “Christ’s Redemption”.

This position is full time, benefits included. Salary will be commensurate with skills, education and experience. The music director position will be available beginning July 16, 2018 and the search will continue until the position is filled.
