if you are interested in playing in a worship service!

Every other month, we welcome Jazz to Go to our 11am Sanctuary service. This ensemble of flute, piano, bass, and percussion starts at approximately 10:45 with “Just Jazz” preservice music of various themes, and helps lead in worship with hymns and spiritual songs offered in a jazz idiom.

Through all of these musical offerings, as well as through robust congregational singing, our goal is to facilitate a deep and cohesive worship experience that amplifies the scriptural themes of the day. We strive to provide a wide variety of musical genres to make worship accessible to all, from classical to jazz, from freshly composed anthems to beloved standards, all while singing hymns both old and new. In addition, we delight in featuring music of cultures that span the globe. We hope that fostering a varied and inclusive culture of communal music-making can break down walls, deepen our spiritual understanding, and foster empathy, preparing us to be the light of Christ in the world.
