Music
St. Stephen's Church is committed to a strong music ministry that lifts our praises to God.
We emphasize congregational singing, participation by people of all ages in our choirs, a variety of musical styles--with the traditional repertoire for which Anglicans are known having pride of place--and the highest quality performance by singers and instrumentalists.
We have a long tradition of offering choirs for children, teenagers and adults; choirs for those who have choral experience and those who want to learn; choirs for those who can commit to a weekly rehearsal schedule and those whose involvement is more limited. There is a bell choir, and there are opportunities for instrumentalists who wish to share their musical gifts in worship. We have temporarily suspended children's and youth choirs until more have been vaccinated, but expect to resume these ministries in September 2022.
St. Stephen's is also known for bringing renowned musicians to perform here, from organists to ensembles to choirs such as the Choir of Men and Boys from Canterbury Cathedral.
