Twin First UMC seeks an enthusiastic, flexible, collaborative, and skilled musician  to lead our growing community in worship. 

About us 

Twin First UMC is a historic congregation that is transitioning into a hybrid style of  musical worship that honors the tradition and integrates it into a contemporary  expression of congrega2onal par2cipa2on. 

Our church entertains big ideas, longs for meaningful worship, and prioritizes  community service. We strive to be an oasis for those seeking deeper connection  with the Divine, self, and others; an inclusive place for learning and spiritual  renewal; a loving and accepting community dedicated to service and justice. We  are a small, growing church located in the heart of historic downtown Twin Falls,  with congregants from all over the city. An intergenerational community, we  welcome at all levels of ministry people of all races, colors, genders, sexual  orientations, national origins, ages, and abilities. 

About The Job  

This is a part-2me (10-15 hours per week) position requiring that you: 

- Play keyboard* and lead singing at our Sunday morning worship services throughout the year; additional services may be held during the seasons of Lent,  Easter, Advent, and Christmas. 

*Note: piano is preferred, but we are open to guitar as well; proficiency in two  instruments is ideal.  

- Attend once monthly worship-planning meetings with the pastor.

Workflow 

The main emphasis is that the ministry coordinator is present for the Sunday  morning 2me block (9:30am – 12:30pm) and the secondary time commitment is  for one other day (your choice) per week (2-4 hours). This other day will be for  practice and song selection for the service 3 weeks in advance. Thursday at noon is the weekly deadline for current week projects. Everything for this coming Sunday needs to be done so that slides and printouts can be finalized by our staff and  volunteers.
