Job Description
St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Santa Monica is a congregation within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), committed to living out our faith through worship, learning, service, and by pursuing justice, reconciliation and wholeness for all. We are an inclusive and intergenerational Christian community in which faith relationships with God are nurtured and deepened. We are also a Reconciling in Christ congregation within the ELCA. "Reconciling in Christ" means that St. Paul's Lutheran Church has adopted an affirmation of welcome for all people, but particularly those who might not feel welcome in other faith communities. We are intentional in our embrace and inclusion of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender individuals. Worship and outreach are at the heart of all we do. The role of the Director of Music is to ensure that God is glorified, and the gospel proclaimed, through the musical life of the congregation and in select events for the community. The Director of Music works together in ministry with the pastor, staff, and people of St. Paul's to involve the worshiping community in making high-quality, beautiful music together. Worship services and music videos can be viewed on the church's YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@st.paulslutheranchurchofsa5601. The Director of Music plays the organ and plans and leads the music for all worship; recruits, directs, or otherwise provides for leadership for vocal choirs and instrumental ensembles for all ages; plans worship with the pastor; and provides for the maintenance and care of instruments and choir music files. A complete job description is available on our website at https://www.stpaulsantamonica.org/about/jobs Candidates should email a cover letter and resume to cantorsearch@stpaulsantamonica.org or mail the same to St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 958 Lincoln Boulevard Santa Monica, CA 90403 as soon as possible.
