Your search committee will meet with a staffing specialist to get clear on what you need, what you are offering, and who you want to see fill the role.
Next, you’ll receive a professional edit of your job description draft that will attract that person, along with recommendations of where to post it.
Ideal for churches looking for a part-time staff member.

We have in-depth meetings with your search committee to flesh out your wants, your needs, your stand-out qualities as a church, and who you want to see fill the role.
We write your materials, from the job description to what goes out to candidates, and revise them as many times as it takes to get them right. No cap on rounds.
As candidates come in, we sit with your search committee, answer their questions, and help them think through what they're seeing. You're not left interpreting resumes on your own or guessing what a strong candidate actually looks like.
If desired, we can be present for the actual auditions to lend a professional musician’s ear to what you’re hearing.
Ideal for churches who want the best possible candidate for their full-time role.
Why Choose Church Music Staffing Solutions?
Finding the right traditional worship leader has never been harder. That's not a reflection on your church.
Christian colleges across the country have shifted their training to contemporary worship almost exclusively. Organ programs are being reduced, or cut altogether. And fewer musicians are willing to uproot their lives for a role that they’re unsure about.
Meanwhile, your church is exactly the kind of place a serious church musician should want to serve. Rich in worship. Rooted in tradition. Worth building a career around.
So if qualified candidates aren't applying, the problem isn't your church or your search committee’s dedication to the task. It's how your church is being presented to the people who'd love it, and whether or not the person you want actually sees it.
That gap is where good searches go sideways, and where great churches end up settling for whoever happened to apply. But this role is too important to leave to chance.
You don't have to figure it out on your own. Book a call today to see how Church Music Staffing Solutions can help.
