Bramhall Methodist Church
Lead organist required for Sunday morning services with the opportunity to develop the musical life of the church.
We are a large congregation with a diverse range of worship styles and mid-week activities. On Sunday morning two services are held in parallel, and the organist is required to play for the traditional service, providing an excellent opportunity for a classically trained musician.
The organ is a hybrid rebuild by George Sixsmith of the 1906 Norman & Beard instrument.
