Music Ministry Outreach

Updated March, 2009

In addition to providing leadership for weekly worship that includes special music for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lent, Easter and the annual "Music Sunday" in May, Calvary's two adult choirs regularly join as a festival choir with a varied complement of vocal and instrumental ensembles - brass, strings, woodwinds, handbells, four youth choirs (who also do their own musicals in May) - to present special worship and celebration events, often with guest artists. Invitations are extended beyond Calvary for anyone interested to participate in a short term music commitment.

Presentation styles range from gospel to formal, contemporary to traditional classic, featuring scripted compositions when appropriate, performed in concert settings. Concert admission has been a production cost subsidized suggested donation or ticketing. Lead by an exceptionally qualified church staff and professionals as needed, Calvary's music ministry is primarily church members serving the Lord.

There is a place for YOU.
