Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir directed by Wendy Bamonte is an all volunteer, all-are-welcome chorus. Members come with a range of experience and expertise but all share a great love for music and a heart for service and ministry. The choir is devoted to mission outreach, including many benefit concerts for our African church partners in Zambia and Senegal. The funds generated from these concerts have helped drill water wells, build schools, and provide food in areas affected by drought and crop failure. The Sanctuary Choir's singing is always steeped in excellence, and always to the Glory of God! For more information, or to come to a rehearsal, email us today. Rehearsals are Thursdays from 7-9pm in the Sanctuary.
Pipe Organ
The pipe organ at Lake Grove Presbyterian Church is a visual centerpiece of our sanctuary and a cornerstone of our Music Ministry. Originally built in 1975 by Balcom and Vaughan, the organ has since been redesigned and remodeled by Bond Organ Builders. Behind the beautiful facade that is visible from the room are over 1,500 more pipes, bringing a great variety of colors and dynamics to our hymns and choir anthems.
Covenant Bells
The Covenant Bell Choir, directed by Aaron Waite, is composed of fifteen ringers devoted to the art of ringing English Handbells for the glory of God and to provide praise through their music for those gathered for worship. The bell choir also has the opportunity to partner with members of the Oregon Symphony several times a year. Rehearsals are Wednesdays from 7-9pm in the Sanctuary.
