Music

Music in Worship Music is an important element in the life and worship of St. Andrew. We strive for excellence in the Music Ministry and have many opportunities for music volunteers. We offer a "traditional" worship style with pipe organ music, singing old standards and new hymns, using many types of instruments throughout the year and following the liturgy set by the United Church of Christ.  Please see the Minister of Music, J.R. Cannaday, for more details.
