Music & Worship
God has, since the beginning of creation, invited His people to participate in covenant relationship with Him (Genesis 17:7). When we come together at God’s invitation to listen to Him and respond to Him in holy conversation, we call it worship.
Below are some of the ways to participate in our worship ministries. We invite you to carefully and prayerfully consider how much you might participate in the worship of Mount Auburn!
9:00am Traditional Worship | Music Ministry Opportunities
CHANCEL CHOIR
The Chancel Choir is open to adults and students who enjoy singing and helping lead the congregation in worship.
The choir sings during the 9:00 a.m. Traditional Worship service from September through May. Through congregational music and a variety of anthems, the choir helps support the theme of each service and offers its music in praise to God.
Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 7:00–8:30 p.m.
Location: Choir Room, Room 121
Childcare is available upon request.
HANDBELL CHOIR
The Handbell Choir gives participants an opportunity to offer their musical gifts through the beauty of handbell music.
This intermediate-level group is open to adults, students, and older children who have experience ringing or are willing to learn. The choir participates in worship throughout the church year, with additional opportunities for solo and small-ensemble performances.
Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 6:00–7:00 p.m.
Location: The Courts, Mount Auburn’s main sanctuary
ORCHESTRA
he Mount Auburn Orchestra welcomes student and adult instrumentalists.
Whether you play strings, brass, woodwinds, or another instrument, there may be an opportunity for you to participate. The orchestra plays during worship periodically and rehearses as needed in preparation for services and special programs.
Instrumentalists may also support the Chancel Choir, participate in smaller ensembles, offer solo music, and perform as part of the annual Christmas Cantata orchestra.
WORSHIP ARTS
Worship can engage more than our voices and instruments.
Worship Arts includes music, visual art, worship design, Scripture presentation, environmental elements, and other creative expressions that help invite people to encounter God.
Adults, students, and children are encouraged to explore how their artistic and creative gifts might enrich the worship life of Mount Auburn Church.
10:30am Contemporary Worship | Music Ministry Opportunities
PRAISE BAND
The Mount Auburn Praise Team leads music during the 10:30 a.m. Contemporary Worship service.
The team uses modern Christian worship music to help the congregation praise God, reflect on Scripture, and respond to the message of each service.
Opportunities may be available for vocalists and instrumentalists who have a heart for worship, are willing to rehearse, and can serve as part of a collaborative team.
