First Baptist Church of Greater Des Moines in Johnston, Iowa is looking for a part-time Music Director to help lead and grow our music ministry.  This is more than a music position – it’s an opportunity to use your gifts, develop others, and create worship experiences where people of all ages can connect with God.

What you’ll lead:

• Sunday Chancel Choir and special services throughout the church year

• Musical ensembles and Handbell choir

• Choral rehearsals and musical preparation

• Recruitment, development, and encouragement of volunteers

• Music selection that connects with the season, message, and purpose of worship

• Worship planning in collaboration with our Senior Pastor, musicians, and volunteers

 

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• A demonstrated Christian faith and commitment to the mission of the church

• A strong background in Christian music and worship

• Experience leading choral groups and ensembles

• Knowledge of choral rehearsal techniques and conducting

• Strong communication, organization, and attention to detail

• An understanding of music licensing/copyright and church safety practices

• A collaborative, encouraging spirit and a heart for developing the gifts of others

If you’re ready to lead with purpose, make a joyful noise, and help create worship that invites people to participate, connect, and grow in faith – we’d love to hear from you!
