Music can be one of the purest forms of and praise.  At Concord we embrace music as a critical part of our worship experience.  Under the leadership of our Minister of Music, Matthew Pressley, we have come to expect excellence in all aspects of our music program.  While our program is grounded in the traditional, we include a wide array of genres and eras from chant to gospel, from classical to folk. Our diverse ensembles provide many opportunities to participate in a vibrant fellowship of music ministry.  Additionally, the Concord Concert Series is our music outreach ministry that combines the finest professional musicians with dedicated volunteers to present concerts, recitals and staged productions throughout the year.

We offer singing opportunities for all ages, from age 4 through adults. If you are at all interested, give us a call at 654-9652. See our On-Line Events Calendar for details of our rehearsal schedules.
