Music

Do You Want to Get Involved?

There’s a place for your gifts here. Whether you sing, play, or just want to learn—join us in making music to the Lord. At Highlands Church, music is a vital and joyful part of our worship life. Through a variety of styles—traditional hymns, contemporary praise songs, choral anthems, and instrumental offerings—we aim to glorify God and inspire the hearts of our congregation.

Our Music Ministry isn’t just about excellent music-making. It’s about creating space for the Holy Spirit to move freely through every melody, drawing us deeper into God’s presence during worship and beyond. Whether led by our Chancel Choir, Celebration Worship Team, Handbell Choir, or other gifted musicians, our worship leaders are here to help the congregation connect with Christ through music.

Participating in one of our ensembles is a great way to grow in faith, build community, and experience the joy of worshiping together. Whether you're a seasoned musician or just love to sing, we’d love to welcome you. Contact the church office or one of our worship leaders to find out how you can “make a joyful noise to the Lord!”

Chancel Choir - Traditional Worship

There is no greater gift than to “sing to the Lord a new song.” If you love to sing, consider using your musical gifts to praise God through our music ministries. The Chancel Choir sings year-round during our Sunday 10:00 AM Traditional Worship Service and rehearses Wednesdays at 4:00 PM in the choir room.

This is a welcoming group of dedicated singers who truly “make a joyful noise” each week! In addition to leading worship on Sundays, the choir presents two special musical services every year—at Easter and Christmas. No auditions are required—just a willing heart and a love for singing.

Celebration Worship Team - Celebration Service

The Celebration Worship Team leads music each Saturday at 5:30 PM during our Celebration Worship Service (except the first weekend of the month). They offer a wide range of styles—from gospel and contemporary Christian to popular worship favorites and more.

We’re always happy to welcome new singers and instrumentalists. We're especially looking for guitar, bass, drum, and orchestral instrumentalists (string, wind, or brass). The team rehearses Thursday afternoons under the leadership of Pam Meyer, our Celebration Worship Leader. If you'd like to be part of this vital ministry, contact the church office.

Organist - Traditional Worship

At the heart of our Traditional Worship Service is the rich and reverent sound of the organ. Jeannine Wagar, our talented organist, brings depth and beauty to each Sunday service through her thoughtful accompaniment and musical leadership. Whether supporting the Chancel Choir or leading congregational hymns, her playing helps create a sacred and meaningful worship atmosphere.

Psalm 150:3 says, “Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp!”

Highlands Ringers - Traditional Worship

Our handbell choir is always open to new members! Directed by Joyce Sheldon, the Highlands Ringers rehearse Wednesdays at 3:00 PM (during the school year) in the Sanctuary. They perform several times throughout the year during our Traditional Worship Services.

If you can count, you can ring! No prior experience is needed—reading music is not required, and training is provided. Call the church office if you're interested in giving it a try.
