For search committees, drafting a job description for a church music position can be difficult unless you have information regarding hours required to perform tasks and other critical issues. For musicians, understanding your rights and responsibilities when working in a church environment can make the difference between feeling alone or feeling supported in your work.
Music United:UCCAM has produced a great resource to help with all of these questions: The Music Ministry in The United Church of Canada, available from UCRD. And if you can't find the information you need in this publication, then feel free to contact your Regional Convenor and tell him or her what you need to know.That's what we're here for!
