Music Ministries at St. Paul’s
Music is deeply woven into the life and worship of St. Paul’s, and it is something our congregation genuinely treasures. In a time when many churches no longer have a choir, St. Paul’s is blessed with both a thriving Chancel Choir and an advanced handbell choir. These ensembles do more than provide music. They elevate worship and help shape the spiritual rhythm of our Sundays. You will often hear members say how grateful they are for the music at St. Paul’s. For many, it is their favorite part of Sunday worship. The care, preparation, and artistry offered by our volunteer musicians create moments that move hearts, deepen prayer, and make worship feel whole.
What makes this ministry especially meaningful is the people behind the music. Our musicians are among the most loyal servants of the church, with many offering their gifts faithfully for decades. They rehearse weekly, support one another, and serve with a shared purpose: to glorify God and enrich the worship experience of the entire congregation.
St. Paul’s Music Ministries include the Chancel Choir and the Chancel Ringers Handbell Choir, two ensembles united by a love of music, a commitment to excellence, and a desire to serve through worship.
