The Director will oversee all aspects of Sunday morning children’s programming, including coordinating and supporting volunteers, preparing classrooms, and ensuring a well-organized and inviting experience each week. Working collaboratively with church leadership, this individual will also help select and adapt curriculum to meet the needs of our children, equipping volunteer teachers with the tools and support they need to lead effectively.

Beyond Sunday mornings, the Director will lead and support a variety of family-focused events and outreach opportunities throughout the year, such as Vacation Bible School, Trunk-or-Treat, the Easter Egg Hunt, and Christmas Eve services.

The Director will maintain regular communication with families, participate in staff and committee meetings, and collaborate with other ministries to strengthen faith formation across all ages.

Qualified candidates will have prior experience in children’s ministry or education, strong organizational and communication skills, and a demonstrated ability to recruit and encourage volunteers. A growing Christian faith and alignment with the mission of Highland Presbyterian Church are essential. This role requires Sunday morning availability, participation in weekly staff meetings, and flexibility for occasional evenings, seasonal events, and midweek programming.

Director of Music Ministries

Highland is looking for a Director of Music Ministries to be a creative and dynamic leader with a vision to continue our musical excellence and presence in the community. The successful candidate will be someone who enjoys working in a church setting, providing spiritual nurture through musical preparation and leadership in worship.
 
The Director for Music Ministries position is part time, and there is some flexibility in terms of time spent in the office and days off. The church has an organist on staff; however, the ideal applicant should be comfortable with service performance in the organist’s absence.
 
Oversight of the church’s ensembles is a responsibility of this position and can be accomplished either by working directly with each group or through close administrative and/or musical support to volunteer leaders.
 
During the school year, our 40-member Chancel Choir sings in our traditional worship service most Sundays and is supported by an adult bell choir, a contemporary band, and occasional ensembles including brass. Singers and instrumentalists including church members and hired professionals augment the service as needed.
 
On Sundays, the traditional worship service begins at 10:00 AM, often preceded by a short contemporary service called Ignite. During the school year, the Chancel Choir rehearses on a weekday evening (currently Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00 PM) and briefly on Sunday morning before traditional worship. In summer, the choir sings during Communion services, rehearsing just before the service. Typically, the choir has also sung Advent and Lenten cantatas during worship and an annual concert.
 
In addition to these obligations, the person in this position is expected to attend a weekly worship planning meeting and a weekly staff meeting. The Director of Music Ministries also attends monthly meetings of the Worship and Music Council and Highland Performing Arts Committee and serves as a resource for both groups.
