Music Ministry
 
Greenwich is a singing church and our rich musical tradition is a vital part of our worship. Our three worship services include music and singing in three slightly different styles...
 
8:00 am Worship features a traditional hymn-sing and music that has been a part of our church family for generations.
 
9:30 am Worship is a blended acoustic style including hymns and contemporary choruses
 
11:00 am Worship features hymns accompanied by organ and robust musical offerings from our gifted adult choir and other musicians.
 
If you are interested in getting involved in our vibrant music ministries, contact our Director of Music Ministry, Lon Quinones, to consider participating in one of the following areas:
 
Chancel Choir
Our gifted Chancel Choir sings a wide variety of styles of music, and welcomes all adults and high school students. We are frequently joined by guest musicians, including brass quartets, string quartets, and noted soloists.

Adult Handbell Choir
The Adult Handbell Choir leads worship several Sundays throughout the year at the 8:15 and 11:00 services.  We welcome all interested in playing this unique instrument.  No prior handbell ringing experience required.  This ensemble is directed by Debbie Gilbert.
 
Children’s Handbell Choir
A recent addition to the Greenwich music ministry, the Children’s Handbell Choir, welcomes children between 1st and 6th grades and participates in our worship services several times each year.
