MUSIC
Grace Presbyterian Church is a PC(USA)-affiliated, intergenerational congregation located in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. We’re a Christ-centered community committed to creativity, inclusion, and service. Through worship, the arts, and local outreach, we seek to create spaces where people of all backgrounds feel welcomed, supported, and inspired to grow in faith and purpose.
At Grace Presbyterian Church, we believe that nurturing young talent is one of the most meaningful ways we can support our wider community. By hiring high school and college students for paid summer music roles, we’re not only giving them hands-on experience in performance and leadership—we’re investing in the future of the arts in our neighborhood. Thanks to a dedicated music grant, we’re able to offer flexible, paid opportunities that help students explore their gifts, grow in confidence, and bring joy to others through music.
Our adult choir takes a well-deserved break during the summer months—but we don’t want our worship to lose its energy and creativity. That’s where you come in. We’re inviting guest directors to step in and guide our student ensembles, helping keep momentum going, offering fresh inspiration, and creating a joyful worship experience each week. Whether you can join us for one Sunday or several, your leadership helps us bridge generations through music all summer long.
- Music educators, vocal coaches, or qualified musicians
- $30–$40/hour
- Lead rehearsal and performance on Sundays only (8:30–11:30 AM)
- No minimum number of Sundays required
- Choral directing experience required.
We believe good things are worth sharing—and that’s why we’ve launched a community-based referral program. If you refer a student or director who is hired and completes at least six Sundays this summer, we’ll send you a $200 thank-you bonus.
Anyone can refer—students, parents, teachers, community leaders, or neighbors. The goal isn’t just to fill positions, but to build relationships and bring in people who are already connected to the life of the community. By sharing this opportunity, you help us build a more vibrant, intergenerational summer experience for everyone.
All roles are flexible, open to vocalists and instrumentalists, and designed to support creative expression in a supportive, inclusive environment. We welcome a variety of musical backgrounds including choir, band, and theater.
