Associate Director of Music and Fine Arts

The First Methodist Church of Livingston, Texas is seeking qualified applicants for its next Associate Director of Music and Fine Arts. The Department of Music and Fine Arts at First Methodist Church maintains a full schedule of services, rehearsals and performances between our two handbell choirs, Chancel Choir, FMC Singers, Holy Ground praise band, Youth Praise Band, Children’s Choir, Choral Scholars, the FMC Symphony, and a rotation of small ensembles and soloists, all of which contribute to the rich musical life and heritage of First Methodist Church. The Assoc. Director’s opportunities for musical, professional, and spiritual growth within this environment are limitless. This position works in tandem with the Director of Great Beginnings and reports to the Director of Music and Fine Arts. 

Great Beginnings is a non-profit, TDPRS-licensed childcare ministry of Livingston’s First Methodist Church. With over 400 students passing through our doors each week, Great Beginnings provides children with a foundation for the development of their faith through an all-encompassing curriculum that explores motor skills, movement, drama, creativity, literacy, science, mathematics, and the basics of a relationship with God. The Assoc. Director will oversee the augmentation of this curriculum with an additional focus in the arts and a specific focus on music. They will also oversee the rapidly-growing Children’s Music department of First Methodist Church and cultivate a community of young musicians as Director of Children’s Music.

It is our belief that the right candidate will be able to continue to build on the momentum in our quickly-growing Children’s Music department and in our Preschool and build a ministry founded on bringing children closer to Christ through an education in the arts.

Applicants will receive a full job description upon receipt of application submission.
