Praise Through Song

Join Our Music Ministry

Over the years, St. John's has had a strong music tradition and an appreciation for the importance of music in worship. Listed below are several opportunities to praise God through song. New members are always welcome and we look forward to having you join us! 

St. John's Choir for high school and adult singers meets from September through May. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings 6:30-7:30 pm in the choir room downstairs. Our choir sings during the 8:15 am worship services on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month and for special occasions, including an annual Christmas cantata. 

St. John's handbell choir rings in worship once a month, typically at our 10:30 am worship services. Rehearsals are on Wednesday nights from 5:30-6:20 pm. We play on a four octave set of Schulmerich Handbells and three octaves of Handchimes.

Our band leads contemporary worship weekly at 10:30 am on Sundays. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings from 5:30-6:30 pm in the Sanctuary, with a short Sunday morning warm-up at 9:45 am. 

Our brass group for high school and adult instrumentalists offers music during special Sundays, such as Christmas Eve and Easter.

Other Instrumentalists and vocalists are always invited to share special musical offerings during worship.
