Music Program

Worship is at the heart of congregational life for Presbyterians, and this is true at Walhalla Presbyterian Church! Our worship directs attention to what God has done and to the claim that God makes upon human life. By lifting our voices in prayer and praise, joining in confession, and being assured of God’s unending forgiveness, affirming our faith and hearing God’s Word proclaimed, we become truly the body of Christ that we understand as "church."

It doesn't take great voices to have a church choir; it takes average voices willing to do the best they can to praise a great God! Because this is true, every follower of Christ BECOMES A CHOIR MEMBER who sings hymns (or attempts to), prays, or meditates when the prelude and offertory are offered.

While Walhalla Presbyterian Church’s music style is historically traditional, we also occasionally use other styles and elements in our offerings (hand bells, spirituals, drama, etc.). Our offerings will always arise from our own cultural and historical contexts, but also draw from other cultures and times when appropriate so that we may worship God “in spirit and truth” (John 4).

Our choir director/organist, Cecil Rigby, has an “open membership policy” for the choir programs; the only requirement is a desire to praise God. If you want to enjoy the fellowship of our music program’s ministries, you are welcome to begin by coming to rehearsals. If you have special requests, they are always welcome, too. Just talk to Cecil anytime (except when he’s playing the postlude!).
