Classical Worship
Sundays • 11:00 amThe 11:00 am classical service features organ, piano, a choir and/or quartet, handbell choir and selections from hymns and classical music from the church’s rich history.
What Worship Looks Like
The Organ Prelude each week at 10:50am offers a time of personal preparation for worship in the quiet beauty of the Sanctuary. As worship begins, all gathered are invited to rise and lift their voices together, as each is able, in word and song. Acknowledging the greatness of God, and recognizing God’s love through the sacrifice of Jesus, we humbly acknowledge our humanity in the confession of our confession our sins. Assured of God’s pardon, we are prepared to hear God’s Word as expressed through visual imagery and given musical expression by the Chancel Choir, Scholarship Singers Quartet, Celebration Ringers Handbells and the Pipe Organ. We are challenged by pastoral interpretation of scriptural texts and charged to be the Church in the world. We affirm our belief in the Triune God – Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit, and in doing so we are strengthened for service.
Worldclass Pipe Organ
The Sunday Organ Prelude before service draws a dedicated group of listeners each week. Read more about the Moeller pipe organ in the Sanctuary (shown in photo) and the J.W. Taylor tracker instrument in the Chapel.
