We are seeking an individual—such as a retiree, student, or any person with a passion for piano—who is interested in earning additional income on a weekly basis. The position requires a commitment of one hour each week to provide piano accompaniment for our worship service, held from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Our repertoire primarily consists of selections from the Baptist Hymnal (2008), with occasional pieces from the Heavenly Highway Hymns (2nd edition).
Hickory Grove Baptist Church is a small, country congregation located approximately halfway between Harrisonville and Pleasant Hill. The piano is the primary instrument used for accompaniment, and the pianist would perform solo as well as occasionally accompany groups or soloists for special music events. We ask that applicants align with our beliefs as outlined in the Southern Baptist Faith and Message 2000 and demonstrate reliability; reasonable requests for time off may be accommodated.
Our instruments include a baby grand piano (the main instrument), as well as a digital and console piano. The music director will select five congregational songs and one or two quiet pieces each week, providing the selections early enough to allow ample practice time.
This position offers compensation via a 1099 wage at $50 per week. For inquiries, please contact 816.616.4912 and speak with Jo or submit a letter detailing your qualifications and interests to Hickory Grove Baptist Church, 20000 S Hickory Grove Rd, Pleasant Hill, MO 64080. An audition and church approval are required.
