Music is vital to our life together! We have two excellent parish musicians and a wide variety of volunteer musicians who give life to our community.

Choirs meet from September through May, preparing to sing throughout the year:

Adults sing in the Sanctuary Choir, the Men’s Chorus, and the Women’s Ensemble.

Children and youth sing in three different choirs according to their age range:

Joyful Noise, Joyful Voices, and Joyful Praise

Handbell Choir for adults is known as Resurrection Ringers and children in Joyful Praise also employ the use of our handbells

Musical instruments used in worship include the organ, grand piano, electronic keyboard, harp, tone-chimes, handbells, rhythm instruments, flutes, and a variety of instruments played by members of our congregation!

                     We also have a Liturgical Dance Troupe for the young women in our congregation   from ages 12 and up

Anyone interested in music can find a place to use their talents in our worshiping community!
