Music

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:19

He who sings, prays twice.

St. Augustine

Praise God with strings and pipe!

Psalm 150:4

And when the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him.

2 Kings 3:15

And when the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him.

2 Kings 3:15

We provide many organized opportunities for individuals of different ages and stages of life to come together and participate as one: whether our vocal, chapel bell, chime, or festival choirs. Music can lift our spirits and bring us together as a community.

Whether you choose to participate in one of the organized musical ensembles offered, share your instrumental gifts with us as soloist or part of larger ensemble, or choose to sing along with the hymns during worship, music teaches us the gospel through the hymns and psalms, and provides a direct connection to God with our church community.

Please contact Music Director Christine Hogan for more information about any of our music ministries.
