Music

No matter your age, if you have an interest in music, this is the place for you. Ensembles, choirs, praise singers, quartets, handbell groups for all ages, instrumental groups or solos, liturgical dance, and special music events are open to all. Music in the sanctuary is both flexible and diverse as our blended worship alternates between use of a 29 rank Casavant Organ, a Kawai grand piano, and a jazz combo set-up. See our events for special music shows or activities.
