Trinity United Methodist Church in Downtown Atlanta seeks an accomplished and dedicated Accompanist to support our worship life and music ministry. The ideal candidate will be a skilled pianist with the ability to play both traditional hymns and contemporary music. Strong improvisational skills and a collaborative spirit are highly valued.

• Provide piano accompaniment for Sunday morning worship services.
• Support soloists, or special music as needed.
• Collaborate with the Worship Leader and pastoral staff to prepare music for weekly services.
• Rehearse independently to ensure preparedness for all musical selections.

• Ability to read music confidently and accompany soloists.
• Improvisational skills preferred.
• Organ experience is welcome but not required.
• Previous experience in church music ministry is desirable but not needed. In fact, we would love to support a music student who is attending school.
• Ability to work collaboratively with staff, volunteers, and musicians.
• Professional reliability, punctuality, and positive interpersonal skills.
