Music Ministries

"I will sing with the spirit and with the understanding also."  I Corinthians 14:15

Music is an essential element for our church from weekly services, seasonal and special services, memorial services, weddings, and informal events. We offer something for everyone of all ages and abilities. Our music program is organized in a choir system: the St. George Choir for adult and teen singers, the St. Cecilia Choir for girls ages 10 and up, the St. David Choir for children preschool and elementary ages, the St. Mark Bell Choir, and the St. Gabriel Brass Choir. Come and join in the fun.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the Earth. Psalm 100:1
