Christ-St John Lutheran Church

Qualifications: An inspired classically trained musician able to perform with optimal benefit on our new (2025) Allen Model GX-215a, 34 stop, two manual organ with Allen Apex technology. Responsibilities: Play for 2 masses every Sunday at 10:30am (Bilingual Spanish and English) and 12:15pm (Spanish) providing accompaniment for the liturgies and congregational singing, in addition to evening masses on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday and Christmas Eve and a morning mass on Christmas Day. Pre-record liturgical music and hymns for Sundays not in attendance (excluding music already pre-recorded in the Allen Hymn Player Song List). Christ St. John is a dynamic, welcoming multicultural, primarily Spanish-speaking congregation that celebrates mass following a traditional catholic form, but incorporates a variety of musical styles and, in the Lutheran tradition, promotes congregational singing. Compensation and benefits: $17,100 - $20,400 per annum, commensurate with skill and experience, as an independent contractor, payable in twice monthly payments. 4 weeks paid personal time off (PTO) per annum, with one week accrued for every 3 months of service. (PTO may not be taken on festivals or during Holy Week.) Responsibilities do not include hymn selection or choir direction. The church is easily accessible; a 20 minute commute from the 42nd Street Port Authority Bus Terminal leaves you in front of the church.
