Edmonds UMC is hiring a Family Ministries Specialist. It is a part-time position, reporting to the Director of Youth and Family Ministries.

The Family Ministries Specialist, as a team member, draws our church community closer and provides faith-filled, creative, intergenerational learning and fun opportunities for our children and families. The Assistant must be passionate about embracing anti-racist practices, centering LGBTQIA+ and differently abled children, as they work with the worship team and the congregation to meet spiritual needs and grow disciples in Christ. The key day for this job would be Sunday mornings at church, and there is potential for some hybrid work during the week. See the link for compensation details and a job description. 

Kent United Methodist Church is looking to fill three positions in our music ministry:  Sanctuary Choir Director, Handbell Director, and Worship Band Leader.  If you are an experienced leader with a passion for leading others in one or all of these worship areas, please apply.

Sanctuary Choir Director: This position requires 10-12 hours per week over 10 months. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from September through June, and the choir sings during the Sunday 10:00 am service.

Handbell Director: Our talented handbell choir performs in church about eight times per year including Easter Sunday, and the salary is based on approximately eight hours per week. 

Worship Band Leader: We would like to build a vibrant praise band under the direction of a talented instrumentalist (guitar or piano) who can recruit musicians, select and arrange worship music, and lead congregational singing. This is a year-round position, at every Sunday service. 

Benefits include paid time off after one year, a budget for training/conferences, and a supportive environment in a strong, growing church.
