| Music
St. Michael’s has been long known for musical diversity. Within the varied fabric of styles and expressions the thread remains constant: commitment. Our music program is committed to musical stewardship, to our different choirs, our varied worship styles and to a loving Lord. Traditional Anglican repertoire, classic choral anthems, modern choral compositions and contemporary praise music portray the beauty of excellent musical craftsmanship. Choir members train musically, liturgically and spiritually to serve as worship leaders through vocal instruction, choir rehearsal, music theory, lectionary study and musical and Anglican Church history.

God calls us; We respond to the call. We come to this place. We come
with all our diversity and in our brokenness. We come together to be one
people, not giving up our individuality but celebrating it as God's
gift to each; not rejecting our brokenness but caring to one another and
the whole of God's family. We come as we are. We worship; we study; we
recognize each other in fellowship; and we leave as God's people.
