We strive to honor God with excellence in our music programs. Our Chancel Choir sings each Sunday. Handbell and Youth Choirs participate regularly. We present special music at Easter and Christmas, including brass ensembles from the Charleston symphony. The Youth Choir holds annual presentations near Pentecost and again during Advent.
