  Sweet Harmonies: Church Music Staff Relations

  How can church musicians collaborate effectively with pastors and staff? What are the best practices for music directors managing multiple staff musicians? How can directors support volunteer musicians from the congregation? Join Eric Dundore, UCCMA President and Minister of Music at St. Paul's UCC in PA, and Amanda Udis-Kessler, UCCMA Director of Member Education and pastor/musician at Vista Grande Community Church in CO, for a discussion on church music staff relations across various church sizes.

  Eric Dundore is in his 41st year as the minister of music at St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He also directs the Men’s Chorus at Bethany Village in Mechanicsburg. He is retired from teaching Vocal/Choral Music at Mechanicsburg Area High School after a 35-year career. Eric enjoys being a stage performer, music director and stage director at Theater Harrisburg.  

  This is a free, one-hour conversation on ZOOM. All are welcome. Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT
