Worshiping

We value many things but God desires that we value Him above everything else. He created us for this purpose. The music ministry of Calvin leads us in ascribing worth to God whenever we gather for worship.

Reaching

Music is one way for the church to obey the great commandment to share the gospel and make disciples. Music enhances the church’s outreach ministry by offering people a creative way to serve God and by providing an engaging presentation of the gospel.

Encouraging

Our lives revolve around relationships, and our relationship with God gives us the ability to have unhindered fellowship with each other. Participating in an ensemble gives our musicians an opportunity for fellowship in ministry as they blend their gifts with those of other musicians.

Our Intergenerational Core Values

Music Groups for Adults

Sanctuary Choir (9:00 am service)

These singers are the main team of our church’s vocal ministry. They rehearse Thursday evenings and sing for the 9:00 worship service from September through May. Membership is open to all adults and older youth.

Chancel Bells

The members of the Chancel Bells ring a six octave set of bells. They rehearse Monday evenings and present music in worship about once a month from September through May. An interview with the director is required for membership. Contact music@calvinpc.org.

Orchestra (9:00 am service)

Calvin instrumentalists, both adult and students, accompany the Chancel Choir or other vocal groups and occasionally present special music in worship. Special emphasis is given to an orchestra at Christmas.

Worship Band (11 :00 am service)

The Calvin Worship Band provides music for worship on most Sundays. The band is open to adults and students. Membership is by audition. Contact music@calvinpc.org.

Support for Music

Media Team

Media technology has become an essential tool in our worship services. Team members serve on a rotating basis to provide sound enhancement and image projection for weekly and special services. The media team is actively seeking new team members to train and serve on Sunday mornings.
