“...Be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Ephesians 5:18-20 (NRSV)
Worship at St. James’ Church seeks to praise God and offer thanks through the gift of music. We are a singing church, encouraging congregational participation in hymns and service music. We use two pew hymnals, The Hymnal 1982 and Lift Every Voice and Sing II, as well as other resources, such as Wonder, Love, and Praise, for our services.
Our musical leadership includes three choral groups: Adult Choir, St. James' Choristers, and Children’s Choir. New members are welcome – please see the description and contact information below. Our repertoire is varied, reflecting our membership and our desire to embrace the greater community. Instrumentalists occasionally provide music for Preludes and Postludes and to accompany the choirs.
Saint James’ is affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music, an international organization dedicated to the highest standards of church music.
