Music & Worship Arts
Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir rehearses on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am. The fall season begins with a choir retreat in mid-August (a Friday evening & Saturday morning). We sing a wide variety of anthem styles including classical, gospel, spirituals, traditional, modern, and hymn arrangements. Seasonal cantatas are presented around Christmas and Easter. No auditions are required. All we require is a love of singing and expressing God’s love through music.
The Bells of Milledge
Our handbell choir performs several times throughout the year. They rehearse during the Fall and Spring on Sundays at 12:15pm following the Worship service. A simple audition is required since reading a musical score is necessary.
Pre-Service Musicians
We utilize a number of pianists and instrumentalists on a rotating basis beginning at 10:50am before our 11:00am Worship service.
