Highlands Church Music Ministry

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 is about more than just 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 before, during, and after worship. Whether led by our Chancel Choir, Celebration Praise Team, Handbell Choir, or other gifted musicians, our worship leaders are called not only to sing and play, but to guide our church family in connecting with Christ through music.

Participating in a musical ensemble is a wonderful way to grow in faith, build community, and experience the joy of worshiping through music. We encourage everyone—whether you're a seasoned musician or simply love to sing—to come and be part of one of our ensembles. Contact one of our Worship Leaders today and find out where you can “make a joyful noise to the Lord!”  

Celebration Worship Service Information:

Join us for our Saturday evening Celebration Worship Service at 5:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall. This casual, Spirit-filled service features a vibrant blend of music styles—from familiar hymns and gospel favorites to contemporary praise and even original songs written by members of our team. Led by Pam Meyer, our Celebration Worship Leader and Traditional Worship Accompanist, the music is heartfelt and welcoming—designed to help you connect with God in a meaningful way. 

Note: On the first weekend of each month, we hold a Combined Communion Service on Sunday at 10:00 AM in the Sanctuary. There is no Saturday service on those weekends.

Traditional Worship Service Information:

Our Sunday morning Traditional Worship Service begins at 10:00 AM in the Sanctuary. This meaningful service features the rich sounds of our Chancel Choir, organ, piano, and, on select Sundays, the beautiful tones of the Highlands Ringers handbell choir. Each week offers a unique blend of traditional, gospel, and occasionally contemporary music. The service is led by John Matthews, Director of Music Ministries and Traditional Worship Leader, who works closely with our choir and musicians to create a reverent and inspiring worship experience.

Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of every month, and all are welcome at the Lord’s Table.
