Chruch Music Directors????

[mjzatpeace]

Hello All. I'm wondering what the going rate for church Music Directors is?
I've been doing some of the duties, but would like to encourage our church to create a REAL position. Any thoughts? I live in the midwest, church of about 450, town of around 15,000 people. Thanks a bunch!

First of all, could you be a bit more specific? Cost of living varies by state and region...

Second, will this be a full time position? (Will they work 40+ hours a week) Probably not. Probably more like 10 hours a week or less.

Third, how many choirs are we talking - one, two, three?

Four, is this just your run of the mill church choir or a particularly good church choir?

Churches still have choirs these days?
