DIRECTOR OF MUSIC for
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Hanover, Massachusetts

Salary: Competitive and commensurate with experience
Part-Time (approximately 10-12 hours per week)

Is God Calling You to St. Andrew's?
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church is entering an exciting new chapter. As we approach the recognition of our 300th anniversary, we are investing in worship, music, youth formation, community engagement, and congregational growth. We seek a Director of Music who will partner with clergy and parish leadership to build upon a strong musical foundation while helping shape the next era of ministry at St. Andrew's.
Our beloved Music Director of nearly fifteen years leaves behind a thriving choir, a vibrant music ministry, and a congregation that values music as an essential expression of faith. We now wonder:

Wonder With Us 
Have you ever wondered how children experience God? Or how stories, silence, and curiosity can help faith grow?  If you'd like to learn more about Godly Play, you're warmly invited to an informal evening of conversation, connection, and discovery. Thursday, August 20 , 6:30–8:15 p.m.  Together we'll get to know one another, experience a glimpse of the Godly Play approach, and explore ways this beautiful ministry invites children—and adults—to encounter God through story, wonder, and play.  Whether you're considering volunteering or are simply curious, we'd love to welcome you. No experience is necessary—just bring your sense of wonder.

Our invitation to you: Identify any nature setting that is particularly inspiring to you. Notice the vegetation, birds, animals, and note its impact on you. Spend a few extra moments zooming in to see some of the details and specific parts of nature that are adding beauty to that moment in your life. If you have a phone or camera on hand, please send a snap to the office so that we can share your inspiration in nature.

Shore to Shore High Youth Group

Picture
Learn More and Get Involved!
Shore to Shore is a two year experiential education and youth leadership program serving racially, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse high-school students from Massachusetts in sustained partnership with youth peers in South Africa. The Massachusetts cohort includes students from public and private high schools and intentionally connects youth from first-generation immigrant families, historically marginalized communities, and more socioeconomically privileged backgrounds who rarely have opportunities to learn alongside one another in structured, supportive environments. 

Participate Virtually or In Person

At Saint Andrew’s in Hanover, Massachusetts, services and special events are streamed live, allowing everyone, whether attending in person or online, to be part of the community. ​This inclusive approach ensures that no one is left out, providing a welcoming space for all to join in worship, reflection, and celebration. Everyone is invited to share in the fellowship and spirit of Saint Andrew’s.

THANK YOU to all who joined us on  Sunday, March 1, 2026 for the Parish Annual Meeting. View our Annual Report.

Invite In Jesus

Picture
​St. Andrews would like the congregation to invite Jesus into their lives and into their homes.  Each week Jesus will go home with a parishioner.  Show Jesus around your home.  Spend time praying with Jesus.  Take Jesus on your errands, on a walk in the woods or to your sports outings.  After your week with Jesus, you should arrive to church early (9am) and find a hiding spot for Jesus.  The next parishioner who is able to find Jesus gets to take him home.
Also, please share pictures or stories of your time with Jesus with the office ([email protected]).  We want to know about the adventures you have with Christ!

​
Adventures this past week - Jesus went to South Shore Hospital, Worcester (All Saints), and to the Episcopal City Mission Annual meeting in Worcester. Very Rev. Doug Fisher received the Barbara C. Harris award for leadership and joyfully held Jesus. Jesus is also with statues of St. Francis in anticipation of last Sunday's Blessing of the Animals. He also went to Home Depot! What a full week! Where will he go next? View the Gallery

"If St. Andrew's has made a difference in your life, if you have benefitted from St. Andrew's, or you anticipate St. Andrew's filling a need in your life in the future,
I ask that you support our spiritual home, not only when you need us,
but when we need you."
