CHOIRS – To Create Something Beautiful for God

Each week during the school year approximately one hundred singers of all ages and levels of ability and experience come together for the express purpose of creating something beautiful for God, performing first and foremost for an audience of one. With the exception of an occasional concert, all our performances of sacred choral music are offered within the context of the liturgy of the church, and have as their purpose the glorification of God and the eternal edification of all those who worship here. The choir program is intended to make it possible for all who participate to fulfill one of our most deeply rooted human needs: to glorify God and in so doing be drawn ever more deeply into the knowledge and love of him. Leading our congregations in worship is an important task and our choristers take it seriously. The pursuit of a high and consistent standard of excellence in church music requires discipline and constant hard work, and our choristers gladly (most of the time!) commit themselves to this challenge. Participation in the choirs serves many other purposes: association with a small, intentional Christian community within a larger parish; fun and fellowship on a regular and dependable basis; learning great music and being deepened as a person by it; developing an “ear” for music; learning musical skills and cultivating the voice; giving back to others something uniquely beautiful and beneficial to their souls; forming life-long habits of personal responsibility and shared commitment to a larger purpose.
