BRINGING MUSIC TO LIFE

MUSIC AT ST. GREGORY’S

Music has played an extremely important role in the development and evolution of Christianity. Throughout the history of the Church, we have used music as a way of expressing who we are to the world and to each other. Music is one of St. Gregory’s greatest strengths and continues to help define us. The St. Gregory’s Music Ministry is the heart and soul of the church, providing the soundtrack for our faith life. Through music, we celebrate God’s love and express the joy we find in Him.

The music at St. Gregory’s, like the church itself, is diverse, traditional, and dynamic. We offer a wide range of musical opportunities for adults, youth, teens, and professional singers, ensuring that people ages nine to ninety-nine are involved. We honor the beautiful traditional music of the Episcopal faith while embracing the dynamic, contemporary sound of modern Christianity.
