Music
Our ministry is about more than music! Yes, we love making music. In fact, we love it so much that we even created a motto: "Pitch, Rhythm, Color, Artistry in Ministry!" However, we love supporting each other more: being there for each other, encouraging each other when times get tough and celebrating each other's accomplishments. Our ministry is not just a community of musicians, but a community for musicians.
Music has always been a vital part of worship at St. Paul's and includes everything from traditional hymns and centuries of classical works to Spirituals, contemporary selections, and original compositions. Cantors lead the congregation at all our services and soloists (both singers and instrumentalists) are featured throughout the year.
We enjoy bringing music to those at our church and out in the world, spreading the love of God through voice and song. Music binds us together, but love spreads our mission beyond. #artistryinministry
Dr. Felix Eisenhauer oversees the Music Ministry as a whole, Tara Eisenhauer directs our choir and team of dynamic musicians, and Sara Edwards is our organist. Our Music Minister, Felix, is happy to answer any music related questions.
