Music is at the heart of the worship experience at St. Paul’s. Each service offered is bolstered by a different kind of music: from reflective organ and piano music to festive choral and congregational singing to meditative Celtic instrumental work, our mission is to harness the talents of our community and welcome them as a worthy offering to God in all we do–and do it well. There’s a place for every musician at St. Paul’s, whether you’re an experienced choral singer, a budding explorer with little experience, an instrumentalist, a child just learning to read, or even an enthusiastic congregant in the pews who loves a good hymn!
Parish Choir
Our Parish Choir serves the 10:30 a.m. Rite II Eucharist service and is made up of adults and interested teens with a variety of musical training. The Parish Choir currently rehearses Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and gathers in the choir loft at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays before the service. Sometimes, the Parish Choir will present additional liturgical offerings such as 5:30 p.m. evensongs on Sundays. Choir repertoire ranges from medieval to modern, and explores a variety of music within the Anglican tradition, including the distinct art of Anglican chant.

Children’s Music Program
Children in Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to make a joyful noise with our Children’s Choir! Led by Director of Music Ministries Gabe Simerson, the Children’s Choir rehearses on Sundays from 5:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (with snacks available after 5:00 p.m.) in the Children’s Chapel and sings occasionally on Sunday mornings during the 10:30 a.m. worship service. No previous music knowledge or experience is required – our choir leaders will teach musical skill and knowledge at age-appropriate levels.
