Lead Guitarist Position

Description:
Our Savior’s Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation looking for a lead guitarist for our worship band. We currently have a keyboardist, a percussionist, a guitarist who also plays mandolin, and several vocalists. It is a worship setting with a contemporary, upbeat feel. Our typical music ranges from contemporary Christian rock to traditional Christian hymns.

Qualifications:
Applicants should be skilled at lead guitar (acoustic preferred, though electric guitar and/or bass may also be used) and adept at performing as part of an ensemble. Ability to sing is a bonus, but not required. This individual should be willing to work with other musicians and the leaders of the congregation to provide a polished and inspirational music ministry.

Requirements:
Our lead guitarist must be able to help lead music at our 11:00 a.m. worship service held each Sunday morning. He/she must be able to attend rehearsal immediately following worship until 12:30 or 1:00 p.m. Applicants are not required to be Lutheran or Christian, but they should be open to participating in a Christian worship setting and should be aware and accepting that our purpose in worship is to encourage Christians to praise God and to grow into a deeper relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

Salary:
A new lead guitarist would begin at $25 per Sunday.

Applications:
Completed applications may be submitted in person, through regular mail, or e-mailed to Our Savior’s (oslc1@sbcglobal.net). Eligible applicants will be asked to interview with the Personnel Committee and rehearse with the worship band on a Sunday as an audition. Please call the church for an application.
