Music

If you love to sing, play a musical instrument, and/or have a knack for working with sound equipment, there's a place for you in the St. Bartholomew's Music Ministry.

The Music Ministry at St. B's seeks to worship The Lord and provide an environment where people may use their gifts and talents to serve God and further His Kingdom.

 

The Chamber Singers


The Chamber Singers is an auditioned mixed choir offering sacred music on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month (September thru May), during Christmas and Holy Week, a Spring concert, and other special events. Chamber Singers rehearses on Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:30. Only requirements are basic music reading and ability to stay in tune/blend with others. For more information, please contact David Madeira at .

 

The Parish Choir


The Parish Choir is a volunteer-mixed choir of adult and youth (high school +), men and women, which offers classic and modern choral music during Sunday services (8:30am and 10:30am), as well as special events throughout the year. While helpful, reading music is NOT required to be in the choir; a love of music, the gift of song, and the heart of a worshipper are!.

 

Praise and Worship Musicians


Vocalists and instrumentalists are needed to assist in leading the worship in our Sunday services. A variety of instruments are used. If you sing or play an instrument proficiently, there may well be a place for you either in our main Sunday services, or assisting in other ministries (Children's, Praise & Healing Services).
