Music in Worship

Music in worship is an integral part of Westmoreland Church. We have a long and grand history of high-quality music-making. Learning and singing hymns is an important part of the shared worship experience for the entire congregation.

Each Sunday the musical portions of the worship service enhance the scripture focus for the  day. The Chancel Choir presents music that enhances the theme of the service. In addition, special musical presentations are a frequent part of worship at Westmoreland, celebrating gifts from a variety of genres, including classical, jazz, and folk.

Westmoreland is also fortunate to host internationally acclaimed performers on a frequent basis. 

Chancel Choir

Westmoreland’s Chancel Choir is a warm and welcoming community within the broader church family. The Choir rehearses on Thursdays at 7 pm and sings on Sundays and several holidays from September through June.  

Director Alec Davis and the Worship Team select music that complements the liturgy and themes of the week. Music at Westmoreland includes contemporary, classical, Renaissance, gospel and other genres. Guest instrumentalists are frequently a part of worship, too.  

If you would like to sing occasionally, but don’t have time for a weekly commitment, you can join the next Choir for a Day. These periodic Sundays welcome the day’s singers to the chancel at 9 am for a quick rehearsal before the 10 am service. When it’s Choir for a Day, we skip robes- wear what is comfortable for you. 

The Chancel Choir also performs in concerts and special performances during the course of the year. For more information, see the Festival Chorus page.
