The ideal candidate will have a Scripturally-informed vision for corporate worship, mindful of the church’s historic practice but working in a contemporary style consistent with the ethos of St Peter’s Fireside.

He or she will prioritize not only the expression of feelings (such as the psalms) but also the singing of the truths of the gospel (hymns and spiritual songs).

Cultivating corporate worship by singing together will be prioritized over performance or the individual expression of the leader or musicians.

The Music Director will seek to creatively integrate musical worship with the liturgy, being mindful of the readings and the seasons of the Christian year.

The primary focus of this role is to oversee musical worship at St. Peter’s Fireside. This includes leading worship on Sundays and Holy Days and empowering worship leaders and teams.

The (DM) will seek out, recruit and audition musicians from within the community to serve and praise God with their gifts and talents.

The secondary focus of this role is administrative. These responsibilities will vary, but include activities such as scheduling musicians and bands, printing music, auditioning musicians, organizing rehearsals, training, selecting songs that meet and enhance the theme of Sunday sermons, and leading community building nights.

Understanding that no area of ministry at St. Peter’s Fireside stands alone, and that all team members lead with a passion for the health of the overall church, the DM will be called upon to serve in other ministry duties from time to time at the discretion and request of the Rector.
