MINISTER OF MUSIC Salem Missionary Baptist Church, Lilburn, Georgia, is seeking a full-time Minister of Music.

Established in 1834, Salem is a 190-year-old historically black congregation that takes great pride in not only its history but also the overall history of the black church. We are a highly spirited church that prides itself on maintaining a relationship with the history of music in the Baptist Church. We are steeped in tradition but are not stuck in tradition.

The ideal candidate appreciates the history and heritage of black church music and is adept at leading biblically sound new and contemporary renderings. We are seeking an individual to add to our full-time ministry team who will coordinate all of the ministry's musical needs (rehearsals, funerals, special services, etc.).

Duties include:

Serving the congregation (under the leadership of the Pastor) as organist, (pianist) and accompanist
Selecting music for worship in cooperation with the pastor
Directing an established band, which currently includes a guitarist, bass guitarist, drummer, and saxophonist. In the event of a vacancy, the Minister of Music would have the strongest voice regarding a replacement.
Directing multiple age-appropriate choirs – currently: Senior choir (60 years and over), Youth and young adult choir, Children’s choir (ages 3-12), Men’s Choir, Praise Team, and Mass Choir
Working as an active member of church staff
Recruiting and leading choir members and musicians from the congregation
Coordinating the music program

Applicant requirements:

Must be a born-again believer in Jesus Christ
Must be able to read and play from music and ideally by ear.
Experienced in leading a church music ministry (five or more years preferred)
Must consider the position as a ministry, and not just a job

Compensation: (based on ability and experience) a minimum of $40,000.00 per year.
