St. Luke's United Church of Christ of Independence, Missouri is accepting resumes for the position of Director of Music.  It is a permanent, part-time position which offers salary commensurate with experience and comparable with music community standards.  This position provides a vital ministry to our choirs and congregation.  Although our history is very traditional, their is an expressed desire to investigate a more blended music program.   We have enjoyed a myriad of different music experiences and wish to continue exploring additional avenues.

At this time our church has a chancel choir, bell choir and children's music activities.  The bells consist of five octaves of bells and three octaves of hand chimes.  The sanctuary has a 13 rank pipe organ and Yamaha grand piano.  St. Luke's has a large library of both choral and bell music.  The chancel and bell choirs both meet for rehearsal on Wednesday evenings at this time.   Our children's Sunday School begins with a short music activity which was led by our Music Director.

Resumes or questions can be forwarded to Rev. E. Paul Emily at pastor@stlukesuccindep.org or Music Chair, Patti McGuire at pattimc49@gmail.com.  The church Administrative Assistant is Mrs. Nanette Moore.  The church phone is 816-461-0302.
