Music Ministries

Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir leads in worship each week through anthems, congregational song, and other service music. The choir meets to rehearse every Wednesday night at 7 PM, and is open to all adults. The choral repertoire is diverse in style, seeking to reflect the diversity of the congregation. Preparation for worship is the focus of the rehearsal, and as such it becomes an avenue of spiritual growth for the choir members as we consider the scriptural and theological impact of the texts we sing, and how we might best communicate them through the music.

The choir also prepares special worship services and concerts throughout the year, including a Christmas Cantata, Holy Week services, and special seasonal concerts. The Sanctuary Choir has sung at Spivey Hall and at Carnegie Hall in New York, and recently presented a celebratory concert in honor of Peachtreeís 160th Anniversary.
