Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Choir Director and Organist 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 blessed to be the Choir Director and Organist at 51st Patrick Street Church, where I lead a team of 6 in delivering choral 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 to the choir, and handle technical elements. I also administer weekly worship meetings, lead rehearsals, and process musician invoices. In addition to my director duties, I am also the Lead Organist with strong experience in solo and liturgical organ playing.

For me, being a Choir Director and Organist 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. It is equally vital that the music team feels valued, fulfilled, and inspired in the glory of their work.

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
