Music

Music is a key component of our church life. Several instruments and genres embellish our worship together.

One of the greatest Christian theologians reportedly said, “When we sing, we pray twice”. At Northminster, we take that conviction to heart. Music plays a passionate and important role in our worship of God. Our hymns are drawn from traditional hymnody, contemporary praise songs, African-American spirituals, and church standards. Our anthems are picked for both the music and the message, and various genres are often represented. While our Allen organ forms the foundation of our music, Northminster has several talented musicians who consistently add guitar, flute, piano, and voice solos to the mix. God has blessed Northminster with excellent music leadership which shows through our several voice and handbell choirs.

Northminster has two handbell choirs: The Memorial Handbell Choir is our adult choir; it meets at 6:30pm each Wednesday for rehearsal. The Coventry Bells is our youth handbell choir, and it meets at 5:30pm each Sunday evening.

Our worship service is embellished with several voice choirs: Our Sanctuary Choir is our adult voice choir which rehearses on Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm. The Youth Choir encompasses 7th through 12th graders; their rehearsal is at 5:30pm on Sunday evenings, as they combine with the Coventry Bells. Our 3rd through 6th graders from our Chorister Choir; they rehearse immediately after the worship service each Sunday. And Joyful Noise! That’s our K through 2nd grade choir, which rehearses each Sunday between Sunday School and the worship service.

Whether you are an accomplished musician or just enjoy worshiping through music, come and ‘pray twice’ with us at Northminster.
