Thank you for your interest in our Music Minister Position. FBC Fisherville is a warm & welcoming church full of people who love to worship and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. We currently average around 325 in Sunday School and Worship every week and offer 2 worship services on Sunday morning. Our 8:30am service is led by our Music Minister, piano, and keyboard, singing primarily hymns.

We also have tremendous volunteer-led Children's Choir & Youth Choir programs that perform throughout the year.
The ideal Music Minister candidate must be capable of leading a multi-generational congregation in worship through various styles of music, ranging from the classic hymns of the faith to current worship music. Proficiency in leading worship with an instrument preferred but not required. He must excel at building and leading a choir, praise team, and praise band.
