Dear Hiring Manager,

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

I am currently blessed to be 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 music, provide creative direction, and handle technical elements. I also administer weekly worship meetings, lead rehearsals, and process musician invoices. In addition to my director duties, I am the Lead Organist with strong experience in solo and liturgical organ playing.

For me, being a Church Musician and Music Director isn’t a job - it’s a passion. The worship service is 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. 

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of Music Education, a Master of Divinity, and have completed post-graduate studies in Organ Performance & Church Music.

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,

Marc Parker
