WORSHIP - MUSIC & ARTS

Music Ministry

Music is an essential part of the worship experience at Port Nelson. Opportunities are provided for vocalists and instrumentalists to contribute their musical talents.

The Port Nelson Chancel Choir provides a wonderful opportunity to participate in the ongoing life of the Church through music and singing. Meeting regularly to rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7:30-10 p.m. and Sunday mornings prior to the service choir members enjoy music and camaraderie. In addition to weekly church services the choir has participated in special seasonal services and concerts as part of our effort to minister to the wider community. New members are always welcomed contact Richard Hansen for more information.
