Praise the Lord with Music!

Music is a very important part of our life at St. James' Episcopal Church.
We offer varied music programs for all ages and interests, and provide the music to enrich all services of the church.
 

The St. James' Singers includes adults and senior high school students. This adult choir sings regularly for the 10:30 a.m. service, and for special services. The Adult Choir rehearses each Thursday night from 7:45 to 9:30 p.m. with extra rehearsals needed during the Christmas and Easter Seasons.  
 

The Junior Choral Choir - Angel Choir includes children in 1-8 grade. The choir meets every Sunday immediately following the 10:30 service from 11:45 to 12:15 p.m. This choir sings regularly throughout the year as well as performs a spring musical. This choir is under the direction of Ms. Cheryl Stafford. 

 

We also have a Praise Band and Choir, which includes many members of the other choirs. The Praise Choir sings for the Sunday 6:00 PM service with contemporary music. Rehearsals are at 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. They also perform occasionally at the Sunday 10:30 AM service.
