Job Description
Part-time Organist
Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church Smithfield, Rhode Island
July 15, 2021
Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Christian congregation and part of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (www.lcms.org), a church body made up of over six thousand congregations across the country. We are committed to all Scripture as God’s inspired Word and to serving as a beacon of faith, hope, and love in Jesus Christ. For more information about our Biblical beliefs, we would be happy to provide a copy of “Luther’s Small Catechism with Explanation” (Concordia Publishing House, 2017) upon request.
Under the guidance of the pastor, the organist will help glorify God and edify the congregation in the Divine Service by providing music for congregational worship at the 9:15 A.M. Divine Service each Sunday, including accompanying the hymns and liturgy, playing a prelude, offertory and postlude, rehearsing with volunteer cantors, and accompanying volunteer instrumentalists and vocalists for occasional special musical selections for the service. Additional seasonal services are offered in Advent, Christmas and Lent. Depending on the organist’s schedule and travel needs, rehearsals may be on Sundays or during the week. The organ is a 2021 Allen G220. There is also a new Yamaha Grand Piano (GB1).
Because the Divine Service is central to the church’s spiritual life, and because the church’s liturgy and hymns are musical confessions of the faith (Psalm 145:7) and also help teach the faith (Colossians 3:16), those who help lead the church’s music in worship serve an important ministerial role. In light of this central role in the spiritual life of the church, it is important that the organist be supportive of the church’s beliefs. Familiarity with the Lutheran understanding of worship, or a willingness to learn about this, will also be helpful.
This part-time position is paid on a salary basis, commensurate with qualifications and experience. It includes two weeks vacation. To encourage and support the organist’s continuing education, the church will cover necessary costs for participating in music workshops at Concordia Theological Seminary (www.ctsfw.edu/ctsfw- events/musicianworkshops) or comparable opportunities as appropriate as approved by the pastor and Church Council.
Interested applicants should send a cover letter with resume to Office Administrator (office@orelc.org), to the attention of the Organist Search Committee.
