Skyline Community Church is progressive, inclusive, open and affirming, green, sanctuary church of the United Church of Christ. We seek a substitute music director, with experience and proficiency in piano and singing, to lead the congregation in hymns and anthems and occasionally perform solo repertoire before, during, and at the end of services. Organ and choir directing skills are desirable, but not required. Repertoire is planned in consultation with Music Director Gabrielle Lochard and Pastor Laurie Manning. We primarily use The New Century Hymnal, welcoming its progressive theology and inclusive texts, and often source the African Methodist Episcopal Hymnal, Lift Every Voice and Sing, Flor Y Canto, and Breaking Bread. Our Congregational services often include traditional folk music, from African-American spirituals to Spanish and Shaker hymns, to contemporary popular and gospel songs with uplifting lyrics and familiar melodies. Sundays 9:15amwarm up, 10-11am service. Located in the Oakland hills at 12540 Skyline Blvd, Oakland, CA 94619, limited public transportation is available, but personal transportation is strongly encouraged. Compensation $200-250 per Sunday. Send resume to [email protected]
