One
of the great theologians from yesteryear once said that we don’t know why God gave us music but we know what it does to us. By saying
this,
he recognized the power and impact of music in our lives, especially in
worship.
Our church is truly blessed with a comprehensive music ministry. Spend
some time here to find out how music is expressed at our church and even ways
for you to find an outlet for your God given talents.

The Choir
This forty member vocal ensemble is open to anyone who feels called to music ministry. Ranging in age from eighteen to eighty, its members join together each Sunday united harmoniously in voice and purpose…to lead God’s people in worship to the glory of our Lord and Savior. Practices are held every Thursday at 7:00 pm.
   
Bell Choir
This thirteen member ensemble has been a valued part of our church’s music ministry for more than twenty five years. With four octaves of hand-bells and choir chimes, the "Chancel Ringers" ring in the worship hour once every month. Practice is held every Thursday at 5:30.

Special programs include a Christmas Cantata with orchestra on the third Sunday in December and a Spring Cantata with orchestra on the second Sunday in June.

Contemporary Worship Music
The contemporary worship praise band is gearing up for its inaugural year of celebration and reverent music in the new contemporary worship that begins on Sunday, April 1 at 11:30 in Saint Andrews. To be accurate, the music is to be a blend of traditional and contemporary selections arranged to minister to the modern soul. This stylish ministry offers opportunities for voices, keyboards, drums, guitars, violins, and other special instruments. In line with the vision of our church, this band is an inter-generational opportunity. This worship is offered every Sunday at 11:30 in St. Andrews Hall.
Youth Praise Band
The Youth Praise Band leads worship at their main gig on Wednesday night at 7:00. Eric Hafemann is the youth director. Click the youth ministry logo "Soma" to find out more about the youth ministry.
Childrens' Choir
Celebration Children’s Choir is for kids in Kindergarten through 4th grade. In the spirit of an inter-generational ministry, children are given the chance to sing in worship. Opportunities are usually seasonal such as Palm Sunday, Mother’s Day, and Christmas. There are also special event opportunities such as “Operation Christmas Child” and “Hanging of the Greens” (during the Christmas season). Practices are normally held on Sundays and sometimes on Wednesday nights.
