About the Music Ministries at Grace Church
The music at Grace serves to lead the congregation in worship of God through the beauty, power, and mystery of music. Assisted by the Organ, Grand Piano, and Three-Octave Handbell Set, the people of Grace Church have a Sunday Eucharist each week that is full of spectacular, spirit filled music which helps bring them to a closer relationship with God.
Grace Church is blessed to have a Pipe-Digital Hybrid Organ by the Rodgers Company. It has two ranks of pipes, to which the organ automatically tunes itself, and a vast amount of digital sounds and colors. There is a huge array of gadgets and gizmos on this fantastic instrument, so if you’d like to know more, come worship with us!
