Music Ministry at The Church of the Palms

Whether you are a singer of songs, a player of instruments, or a joyful listener, the ministry of music at The Church of the Palms is for you!

If you are interested in becoming a part of the music ministry in any of the ways described below, please contact our Director of Music and Worship by calling 480.881.9809 or email Jennifer Hoppe.

Music ministry is for everyone. Whether you are a singer of songs, a player of instruments, or simply a listener, the ministry of music at The Church of the Palms is for you! We all come to the worship service to demonstrate our commitment to the Lord. Each of us experience worship in very individual and personal ways. Our goal is to weave all of the facets of worship together into a beautiful tapestry that will honor God. As we worship, may we all be drawn ever closer to God’s perfect design for us; as a church and as individuals.

How can you be involved as a vocalist?  The Church of the Palms Sanctuary Choir meets on Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. ~ 2:30 p.m. in the music room. We also rehearse on Sunday mornings from 9:00 a.m to 9:45 a.m. in the music room. The choir season begins in September and lasts until June. The choir sings in our Sunday morning worship services, participates in special Christmas and Easter services, along with other opportunities that help spread the great news of Christ. There are also opportunities to sing solos, duets & ensembles throughout the entire year. We encourage participation in this area especially in the summer months when the Sanctuary Choir is on vacation. There is no audition required. We want you to come, have fun and learn! We understand that you may be a seasonal resident. That’s okay. Come participate when you can!

If you play piano, organ, woodwinds, brass, percussion or stringed instruments, you have a place at The Church of the Palms. There are opportunities to play solos or other combinations and groupings. Our desire is to involve as many people as possible and offer as great a variety of musical experiences as possible. 

How can you be involved as a visual or dramatic artist? Perhaps you are a painter, sculptor, work in the area of sign language, dramatic interpretation or artistic dance. Let’s discover together how you can become involved.

But I’m not musically inclined! Perhaps you can’t sing, play, or dance but you have technical skills in the area of computers and sound. We are in constant need for people who will operate our audiovisual equipment during the service. In the days ahead, we will need people who have electrical and carpentry skills to assist with the development of our worship and arts department. Let’s discover ways in which you can serve in these very vital roles.
