MUSIC PROGRAMS

Lutheran worship is grounded in a strong musical tradition. At St. Andrew’s, our music includes expressions from cultures around the world and every age. We invite you to join us this Sunday and make a joyful noise to the Lord!

Parish Choir

The Parish Choir is open to adults, from high-school age and up. Members enjoy being an integral part of the 11 a.m. worship service each Sunday as they lead the congregation in the liturgy and sing anthems that complement the readings of each service. The Parish Choir also sings at the 8:30 a.m. service once a month and at other special services throughout the year.

If you have a love for singing and a desire to contribute to the ministry of the church, we welcome you to join the choir at any time. The Parish Choir rehearses almost every Wednesday night at 7 pm.

If you have questions, please call the church office at 803-772-6034.
