The Music Ministry
Music is a big part of worship at Federated. Our worship repertoire ranges from classical to contemporary, and there are opportunities for all ages to be involved.
Music is a powerful method of physical, mental, and spiritual expression both inside and outside of an individual’s perception. Now, combine that within a group such as Federated Church and one will find a special team effort, from the esteemed Pastoral Team graciously led by Pastor Andrew Headden to congregants and music ministers as they cultivate a relationship and worship within a nonjudgmental, welcoming environment.

The various ensembles include: Celebration Singers: A traditional style choir that sing hymns, anthems ancient to present, and Psalm responses. This SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) group sings the great works of Bach, Mozart, Handel, many of the Methodist champions, and more. On occasion, special international guests visit. History and liturgy are emphasized and appreciated. |
The historic E.M. Skinner pipe organ adds depth and beauty
to the traditional worship service.

Praise Team and Worship Band: What is contemporary? Come visit a rehearsal and contribute a thought regarding “Now” music. Percussion, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, piano, and voices explore many style and back grounds. Each week brings new treasures and gifts for God. This group has a lot of fun making music together!
Engage Band: This newly formed ensemble consists of young talent (ages 7 and up) wishing to sing, play or compose new works. Engage Band is about inter generational involvement and participation, so parents are encouraged to get involved, too. Gabriel assesses and encourages individual talent and works on “fear free singing.” Aural skills, harmony training, and melody phrasing are focused on, as well as educating our young people about God, Christ, Mary and the Holy Spirit’s grace through music.
