Music Ministry

While no one can define how music transforms our communal worship, no one can deny that it happens.  Whether it is the quietest meditation or the most triumphant anthem, music can do what ordinary words may be powerless to accomplish by reaching into our souls and moving us, helping us connect with the divine and lifting us out of ourselves to see God.  Its theology, expressed in text and melody, informs and shapes us as Christians.  Through musical expression, we are invited to serenade the God whose praises echo through the silent music of all creation.  

Music is an integral part of our worship, and you are welcome and invited to become a part of our ministry.  We are always excited to have new members in our choral and instrumental ensembles and as vocal and instrumental soloists.  Whatever your age -  whether your abilities are professional or amateur and whether your interests are traditional or contemporary - there's a place for you!

Congregational Singing:  At both the 8:15 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services, the singing of hymns is a vital part of our worship experience, accompanied by piano and often enhanced by percussion, guitar, cello, bells, and violin instrumentals.

Sanctuary Choirs and Band:  From September until mid-June, our vocal choir leads the congregational hymns and shares an anthem chosen to inspire and relate to the worship focus.  Our band Wellspring opens our 10 AM service with a contemporary selection each week. All groups welcome anyone who shares our passion for praising God through music.  Voices of Praise rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings and Wellspring on Thursday evenings.  Each also meets for warm-up on Sunday mornings at 9:30.

Bells of Praise: Our bell choir rehearses on Monday evenings, and plays a selection monthly at the 10 AM worship service.

Children and Youth:  The youth participate in our musical worship through solos and in various ensembles as dictated by interest and time, and the church loves their musical offerings!

Instruments:  Our worship is enriched by instrumental music - piano, If you play an instrument and wish to explore the possibility of playing in worship or for other events, please contact us.
