Music Ministry

People from all musical backgrounds are invited to join in music-making at Summit, as choir members, instrumentalists, or members of the congregation. At Summit we do a wide variety of music, from traditional hymns to African praise songs, classical to contemporary. Choir, organ, drums, guitars, piano, vocals, and a cappella singing are all a regular part of worship music. Join us!

Choir

Our excellent all-volunteer choir plays an important role in worship at Summit. Rehearsals are Thursdays from 6:30–7:30 p.m., plus Sunday mornings before worship at 9:15 am. Just turn up!
