Music
Worship rooted in the Great Tradition of the church
O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Music at Christ Church
WE ARE A SINGING CHURCH, AND WE BELIEVE WHAT WE SING; for in the words of St. Augustine, “He who sings, prays twice.” We sing the words of Scripture and the Anglican tradition, which both form and express our robust faith in Christ.
Our music is led by organ and choir at the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services every Sunday. At 5 p.m., our music is led by a piano, violin and soloist.
The choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings at 6:30, and new singers of all levels of experience are welcome. Our choral and congregational repertoire is vast; from traditional Anglican hymns and anthems to gospel and contemporary offerings. Join us for weekly Sunday services, quarterly Choral Evensongs, and special events such as All Saints/All Souls Sunday, Lessons and Carols and Good Friday led by the choir and orchestra. No matter what service you plan to attend, prepare yourself to be surrounded by music and swept up in songs of praise to our Lord!
Adult Choir
Our adult choir leads worship at the 9 and 11 a.m. Sunday services, as well as special services, including weddings, memorial services, All Saints’ Sunday, and Lessons & Carols.
The choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.

Children and Youth Choirs
Children and teens are a vital part of our music program. By joining one of our four children’s choirs, your child will learn Scripture and God’s character through music. This holistic formation of body, mind, spirit, and voice is also a community of belonging. We accept new members at any time throughout the year to our four children’s choirs:
- Cherub Choir is for 3-year-olds through PreK.
- Caroler Choir is for Kinder and 1st grades.
- Sanctuary Choir is for 2nd through 5th grades.
- Youth Choir is for grades 6-12.
Children in all these choirs learn and explore music and vocal development through singing, instruments, and lots of games. With an emphasis on fun and fellowship, the children and youth choir members learn the fundamentals of reading music, singing, and the joy of making music together for God.
Choirs meet for rehearsals on Wednesdays at 5 p.m., beginning September 10, 2026.
