Arise Church (UMC) Music Director & Office Administrator

Background

We are looking for candidates interested in a dual role at Arise: a music director and office administrator. Arise Church is a United Methodist congregation located in Pinckney, MI (20 minutes northwest of Ann Arbor, MI). Our mission is “calling others to follow Jesus, participate in a welcoming community, and transform the world with Good News.” Arise Church was planted in 1996, and is proudly affiliated with the United Methodist Church.

Arise Church currently has 1 worship service (10:00am Sundays), which blends traditional and contemporary elements. We sing both hymns and modern choruses. We have a relaxed atmosphere, yet we are tethered to liturgical practices. Our current attendance is 55 in-person worshippers (on average) and many more watching online. We are excited about what God has in store for Arise Church in the days to come. There’s a lot of momentum at Arise and we are looking for the right fit!
