Description"Salem Lutheran Church is looking for persons/people to assist in worship on Sunday mornings by playing the organ. Availability is immediate.

We are located in West Alexandria, Ohio right on State Route 35 (across from the Marathon, if you pass the steeple, you've gone too far). The Address is 70 East Dayton Street West Alexandria, Ohio.

We currently have one service per week that begins at 10:30 a.m. We do have mid-week services during Lent, should you be interested.

The amount of time expected of the substitute organist would depend largely upon the desires and abilities of the sub. We would expect at least three hours per week (playing the service and preparing for it).

Our pipe organ was manufactured by Hill Green, Lane & Co in 1942.

We are seeking someone who is experienced in leading congregational worship.

Salary would be determined by skill and experience.
