Mindful of appropriation, we seek a diversity of style, perspective, and musical expressions.

June: Delight Unitarian Universalism is a progressive, liberal religious tradition welcoming a diversity of beliefs. We gather across the full spectrum theologically from theist to atheist. As such, our musical selections are not Christocentric anthems often found in church communities but rather draw upon inspirations from traditional to secular choral arrangements. The Interim Choir Director will not be excluded from the search process for the permanent Music Director position, which will occur in the winter/spring. Please feel free to contact Rev. Scott Rudolph at minister@uufco.org with any questions. To apply, send a cover letter and resume to the same email address. |
