VIIII. CHURCH STAFF

SECRETARY

The position of church secretary requires good office and organizational skills, flexibility and discretion. The secretary must remain disengaged from any problems or conflicts among parishioners and maintain confidentiality at all times.

The secretary is responsible for maintaining a parish mailing list (postal and email addresses) and keeping an updated record of members' baptisms, marriages, deaths, etc. Document responsibilities include correspondence for the rector, vestry meeting minutes, weekly service bulletins and announcements and lay ministers' schedules. As much of this information is now published on our website at www.trinitymatawan.com, the secretary is also responsible for emailing it to the Trinity webmaster. Additionally, the secretary must provide phone and voice mail coverage, do routine filing, photocopy Christian Education materials, prepare seasonal materials and handle mail.

Following the retirement of two part-time secretaries who worked a combined total of 30 hours per week, Trinity recently engaged the services of one part-time secretary who staffs the church office for 20 hours per week, Tuesday through Friday, from 9 AM to 2 PM.

DIRECTOR OF MUSIC

Following the relocation of our most recent Director of Music, this position was unfilled as of July 1, 2010. The Director of Music, who is also the church organist, has traditionally been responsible for overseeing an adult choir and children's choir. This is a salaried, part-time position requiring 15 to 20 hours per week in order to cover services and choir rehearsals.

CUSTODIAL SERVICES

Custodial and cleaning services are provided by a non-parishioner who reports directly to the rector. Duties include cleaning and light maintenance of the church building. These services 15 to 20 hours per week, paid at an hourly rate.
