Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon (UUFCO) is a liberal religious community focused on finding meaning, celebrating life, and serving the spirit of love and justice in our world. Unlike many religions, we do not require adherents to profess a specific creed or set of beliefs.
We are looking for a Choir Director for 10-12 hours a week beginning August 2025. The position focuses on the adult choir and singing culture of our congregation and is open to growth as our program expands or hours are added.
Music is a central part of our shared spiritual journey together, and we are looking for a Choir Director who will bring their skill, energy, and creativity to the position. Our fellowship hopes for a leader that is up for having fun, going deep, and bringing a vibrant “umph!” to our worship life. We believe a diversity of styles of music is joyous and invitational. We strive to act with equity regarding artist copyrights.
