MUSIC

Music is a very important part of our church life.  At a Sunday service, you will hear classic hymns on our beautiful pipe organ mingled with newer contemporary music on piano or from one of our string ensembles.  Kyle Bertulli is our Organist and Music Director.  New singers and musicians are always welcome!
