Contemporary Praise and Worship

While the church has a rich history of music that goes back more than 200 years to the days of the Reformation, this group focuses on music that is more contemporary in style and nature. They employ the use of keyboards, stringed instruments, brass instruments and a variety of percussion instruments; along with a full range of vocals. Each Sunday they add to the worship experience at Winterberry.

Youth Band and Choir

Our church uses music extensively and runs programs for all ages. As early as possible we teach our young people how to read music, play instruments and sing in a choir. As they mature, theory is also taught, which helps them grow both at their music activities in the church and also at school. If your children would like to learn more about these music programs, please contact us and we'll be glad to discuss the opportunities with you.
