Music & Choir

Music is an important part of our worship and congregational life. Our pianist provides a valuable ministry every Sunday during service. Our choir prepares a wide variety of special music and talented members and children perform during worship services. We also have an Old Time String Band and occasional ad hoc music groups.

Choir

We have an all-volunteer choir, and everyone is welcome! We sing music from many centuries and cultures, in many languages and styles. The choir not only enriches our spiritual experience with music on Sunday morning but also does important social outreach to the larger community. We have performed at prisons, community events, and memorial services, including September 11 memorials, Holocaust memorial services, the AIDS Quilt Display, Habitat for Humanity builds, and even the Mayor’s Inaugural. The choir also frequently collaborates with other community music organizations, including the Bloomington Symphony and the Bloomington Community Band.

The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings, 7:00-8:30 p.m. mid-August through May, and childcare is available by request.
