Other Details

Union Church is a friendly, English-speaking and interdenominational church in Hong Kong with a vision to build a home in Christ to seek, love and serve God and our neighbours. We look back and embrace our calling as a missional church 175+ years ago, while reaching out today to a city in need of hope through faith in Jesus.

Hong Kong and Union Church are in an exciting season. We are preparing to move into larger, new premises on Kennedy Road on Hong Kong Island later in 2023. Possibilities abound – new ministries, expanding services to Hong Kong and the world, opportunities for all to pursue God-inspired passions for His Kingdom.

Union Church uniquely offers both traditional worship and contemporary worship services.

We are seeking a dynamic part-time or full-time Choir director to join our talented staff team on a full-time or part-time basis. This is a new paid staff position that will build on the ministry created by a talented volunteer. The successful candidate will step into a vibrant community of 25 volunteer choristers and musicians, with the opportunity to further develop their talent. The new church building features a beautiful, light-filled 475-person Sanctuary and an intimate chapel for 100 as well as a larger Fellowship Hall, providing a variety of venues for worship services and musical performances. The Union Church Choir is very active during Easter and Christmas, with a variety of additional services added to our programmes.
