At Orchard Park Presbyterian, quality music programming has played an integral role in the history and worship life of the church. We experience and feel God's presence through the beauty of a variety of musical repertoire and genre that are part of our worship service. We sing the beautiful, moving music, both from the more traditional hymns of the church as well as the more current praise songs, during our worship services.
Special music programs during our services are inspiring and include the energetic voices of our Children's Choir, the incomparable beauty of our Wilson Memorial Hand Bell Choir, as well as a variety of other vocal and instrumental soloists and small ensembles that participate in the services of the church. During our worship services, you may hear the majestic sound of our Galloway Memorial organ in some of the great organ masterworks. The gifts of our music program enrich our worship experiences throughout the year.
We always welcome and encourage new members to join our music program ensembles at any point in the year.
If you are interested in being a part of this vital and fulfilling ministry,
please contact Greg White, Director of Music.
