St. Paul’s Church in Cobden (Parish of the Valley, Anglican Church of Canada) is seeking applicants for the position of church organist beginning July 1, 2025.
The successful candidate will collaborate with our clergy team in providing leadership and accompaniment for congregational singing, including hymns and sung liturgy, as well as providing prelude and postlude music and other incidental music as/when needed. Regularly scheduled services are Sundays at 11 am. Morning Prayer is offered on the 1st & 3rd Sundays of the month; Holy Eucharist is offered on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Sundays.
Punctuality and reliable transportation are required. Compensation shall be commensurate with experience.
