Music
Music at Westminster is varied, inspiring, and accessible to all. There are different styles of music to complement your worship experience. Music is taught to children, youth, and adults. Each summer Westminster offers a week-long, half-day Music Camp for children in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Traditional Music
At the Friendly Avenue campus we have organs in both the Sanctuary and Chapel. Traditional services are held in the larger venue, the Sanctuary, at 11 a.m. each Sunday. There are two concert performances: one at Christmas and the other at Easter.
In addition to a 50+ Chancel Choir, we periodically offer special musical contributions during worship from a variety of different musicians - trumpeter, vocalists, classical guitarist, harpist, cello, etc.
Members of the choir will be traveling to Scotland in June 2008 for its first European tour. Read about it in the May issue of WestminsterLife . There will be a commissioning service for the choir members on Sunday, June 1, at the 11 a.m. Traditional Service.
If interested in joining the choir or participating in special concerts, contact organist and choirmaster James R. Jones at 299-3785 or by e-mailing 
Contemporary Music
Contemporary music is performed at both campuses and in all worship venues. A Worship Band provides music from contemporary Christian music to updated hymns. Musical instruments used during the contemporary services include: guitar, bass, percussion, piano and saxophone. Our strong vocalists perform songs by Alison Krauss, Eric Clapton, Elton John, and more. Members of the worship band are auditioned.
Vine Voices
Vine Voices is a collection of singers who enhance the worship experience at the Lake Brandt campus. No auditions, experience or music reading ability is necessary, just a love to make a joyful noise. Vine Voices sing once a month with the Worship Band and special services at the Lake Brandt campus such as the Christmas Drama. Rehearsals are every other Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Chapel at the Friendly Avenue campus. If you are interested, contact Betsy Hyslop at ext. 28 or
