The Ministry of Music at CPC seeks to enhance the weekly worship services through a diversity of musical styles while always centering our voices, instruments, hearts, souls, and minds on praising God and proclaiming the eternal salvation of our lives through Jesus Christ.  Our artistic expression of faith is multifaceted and is heard in the massive sounds of the Chancel Choir and pipe organ, the sweet singing of the flute, the charm of the harp at Christmas, the power and exhilaration of the Easter and Christmas brass, the soothing ring of the Bell Choir, the heart pounding and joyful shout of the Celebrate singers along with the rhythmic accompaniment of the praise band, and the sweetness and innocence of the children’s choir. May God be blessed!


Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir sings every Sunday at the 11:00 a.m. traditional service and rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. (Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. during the summer).  

All types and styles of choral music are learned and we encourage and welcome new members.  Reading music is not required. We are always welcoming to persons who love to sing.
