Choirs & Ensembles

We will worship together, in new ways!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all St. John’s activities are taking place online. For everyone’s safety, there are no in-person activities at church at this time. Updates will be posted on this page and emailed to members. To find out more about current music activities, please email Chad Smith.

Music at 9 am is led by an ensemble of singers and instrumentalists gathered around the piano. The music at this service is eclectic in style, drawn from a variety of Christian sources and traditions. Music at 11 am is led by an ensemble of singers gathered around the organ. The music at this service is classic in style, drawn predominantly from the 1982 Hymnal.
