We welcome and invite you to become a part of our music ministries. We are always excited to have new members in our choirs, among our handbell players, and included with the instrumentalists we draw upon as we worship God together. There’s a place for you, regardless of age and ability.
Mayflower’s vibrant music program celebrates a
50-member adult Chancel Choir comprising professional and volunteer vocalists, as well as a youth choral program with six, age-specific choirs with more than 150 participants.
The sounds of harmonic voice, the Tellers-Lauck pipe organ, Whitechapel handbells, and the carillon in the bell tower all come together enabling us to touch the deepest mysteries of God as we unite in worship and concert.
Mayflower’s catalog of music spans the centuries from medieval chant and Renaissance polyphony to the music of today’s composers. Organist, choirs, and soloists provide musical leadership during worship on Sunday mornings.
The church houses a beautiful pipe organ, built by Tellers and Lauck, considered a treasured instrument in our community. Our Atrium, with excellent acoustics and inviting architecture, also provides alternate space for concerts.
