Lake Toxaway United Methodist Church (www.laketoxawayumc.org), worshipping in a simple Gothic-Revival style frame building dating from 1912, is seeking an interim and/or permanent organist. The congregation meets each Sunday at 10am. There is no choir so the organist’s only responsibility is selecting hymns for the week and playing during the service, with an optional prelude and postlude of his/her choosing. There are a few weddings and funerals each year. The church’s organ is a 2 Manual Allen Digital organ, less than 10 years old and in excellent condition. It also has a system to utilize additional stops beyond the regular stop list. 

The church also has a similarly aged high end Roland electric piano, also in excellent condition. Please contact Stephen Wood, the church’s Parish-Staff Committee Chair (swwood50@gmail.com) for further information or to express interest in exploring this opportunity.

The Music Director will provide leadership and oversight to the music programs of Trinity Presbyterian Church, including the Chancel Choir, and assist the Pastors and Worship Ministry with planning and providing appropriate music for worship services and other special services as needed.

Documented skills in keyboard performance or choral conducting (e.g. pertinent degree or years of experience). 3+ years of experience leading sacred music programs.

Strong proficiency in organ and piano, choral leadership and worship planning.

A team player who works collaboratively with staff, clergy, and volunteers to enhance the church’s worship and music ministry.

Good written and oral communication skills, interpersonal skills; the ability to work independently.
