Music at Trinity

Harmony at

Our Core

Music is an expression of our faith. It’s central to who we are and throughout the years we have honored a wide variety of musical traditions. Along with our popular choirs, classical music in services and special events throughout the year, our designated folk praise service on Saturday night, bell choirs, Bach vespers, woodwind and brass ensembles, and many other expressions of this central part of our identity, music happens here–frequently and with all the joy we can put into it. 

Our love of music spills out into every age group represented in our church and our events each week and throughout the week address the importance of this core competency for everyone from toddlers to seniors.
