Worship Music

We are a church who strives to bring inclusivity to everything we do. As it relates to worship, inclusiveness means that our services offer a unique blend of excellent music. Our jazz band plays most Sundays and congregational singing is incorporated into every worship service. However, some weeks feature contemporary Christian or Celtic music and others, organ, hand bells, cello or harp. While the services tend to follow a similar weekly flow, the feel of worship may vary from more traditional to modern, or from contemplative to experiential. Whatever your music and style preference, we’re confident you’ll experience it here.

"Praise God!
Praise God in the sanctuary and under the open skies!
Praise God’s acts of power and magnificent greatness!
Praise God with trumpet sound; with lute and harp!
Praise God with tambourine and dance; with strings and flute!
Praise God with clanging cymbals; with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that breathes praise our Creator God!"

- Psalm 150

"When I first watched the service online, I was blown away by the quality of music I heard. The caliber of the weekly musicians is significantly better than you hear in so many churches."

Hand Bell Choir

Our bell choir is directed by Dennis Olsen and rehearses from 6:30-8:00 PM on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, September through May. The ensemble periodically shares musical selections during worship, as participants’ schedules allow. Whether or not you have prior experience singing or playing musical instruments, it’s never too late to give bell ringing a try. Please join us!

* Note: The coordination of participants' schedules is proving to be a bit challenging this fall. The Hand Bell Choir will be taking a brief hiatus and has plans to resume rehearsals in January of 2024.

For more information or to sign up to participate, please let us know!

Pop-up Choir

Do you enjoy singing but don’t have the time to commit to a choir that rehearses and sings during worship on a weekly basis? You’ll fit right in! We know what it’s like to be busy and have multiple, life-giving opportunities vying for your time. That’s why we seek to offer occasional, pop-up, choral opportunities.  Add your name to the list of people interested in participating and be sure to join us when it next works for you!

Sharing Your Musical Gifts

Are you someone who loves to sing? Perhaps you play the piano? Maybe you’re ready to debut your mandolin skills. Regardless of your instrument, we are always interested in scheduling individuals, duets, trios and other groups to share their musical gifts during worship. Interested in getting something on the calendar? Please indicate as such by letting us know and we will work with you to find a date that aligns with your schedule and a worship service when the theme for the day pairs nicely with your selection.

I Want TO SHARE MY GIFTS

"For as in one body we have many members and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us."

- Romans 12:4-6a

Movement and The Arts

Each of us has been blessed with a variety of gifts, abilities and talents. Do yours include dance, acting, the spoken word or reader’s theater? How about painting, photography, pottery, mosaic, drawing or woodworking? We are always looking for new, creative ways to incorporate the giftedness of others into our experiences of worship and life together. Please be sure to tell us about your passions, skills and talents, along with any ideas you may have for how they can be used to praise God and bless others!
