Church Music Director Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Church Music Director with 7 years of experience helping congregation members to immerse in God’s nearness through music, I apply with the greatest enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently the Music Director at 51st Patrick Street Church, where I lead a team of 6 in crafting and delivering music for all types of events for audiences both small and large, while inspiring a life-changing atmosphere. Mirroring your requirements, I carefully select appropriate music, provide creative direction, and handle technical elements such as lighting, audio, and video. I also administer weekly worship meetings, lead rehearsals, and process musician invoices.

For me, being a Church Music Director isn’t a job - it’s a passion. The worship service is often the first thing people see when they walk through our hallowed doors. It is my calling and honor to help them feel welcome, included, and closer to God’s presence. It is equally vital to me that the worship team feels valued, fulfilled, and inspired in the glory of their work. I am a hands-on leader who cheerfully inspires, motivates, and encourages my team to deliver truly incredible work.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of Music Education and a Master of Divinity. As well as a strong singing voice, I am a competent organist and pianist.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Roberts
