Worship Philosophy & Ministry Culture

Perry Methodist Church values worship that is spiritually alive, deeply congregational, Christ-centered, and rooted in the rich traditions of Christian worship.

The church highly values:

strong congregational singing,
choir and choral leadership,
hymnody and sacred choral literature,
organ and piano accompaniment,
guest instrumentalists,
theological depth,
and worship that engages both heart and mind.

Music ministry is understood not primarily as performance, but as ministry — helping create worship environments that are reverent, joyful, participatory, spiritually expectant, and centered on Jesus Christ.

The church seeks a leader who understands that musical excellence should serve worship rather than overshadow it.

Flexibility in Staffing Structure

Perry Methodist Church recognizes that exceptional candidates may bring differing strengths in organ performance, choral leadership, worship planning, administration, and music ministry leadership.

While the church ideally seeks a candidate capable of serving in the full scope of this role, the church is open to creative staffing structures — including the possibility of separate Organist and Director of Worship & Music Ministries positions — should the right candidates emerge through the search process.

Compensation & Benefits

Starting salary for the combined Director of Worship & Music Ministries / Organist role is anticipated to begin around $75,000 plus benefits, including:

health insurance,
matching retirement program,
continuing education/professional development funding,
paid vacation,
and other applicable benefits.

Final compensation and scope of responsibilities will depend upon the experience, qualifications, strengths, and final structure of the position as determined through the search process.

Application Process

Interested candidates should submit:

cover letter,
résumé/CV,
references,
and, if available, video or audio samples of worship leadership, organ performance, or choral conducting.
