It all
begins
with music…
Music is an important part of the life of our church.
For worship we use The Presbyterian Hymnal (Purple Color). Our weekly adult choir offers a mix of traditional, contemporary, Celtic, and special music throughout the year. Our worship services also include music from our children’s choir, Handbell choir and various ensembles including string quartets, brass ensembles and even bagpipes! We believe in the power of music to connect the worshipper with the presence of God.
“The music program at the Elkin Presbyterian is very active, and supports an Adult Sanctuary Choir and Children’s Choir, a Handbell Choir, and our Unity Band for youth and children. These groups meet weekly and are open to the public. They provide fellowship and support for our weekly services and are a great way to meet fellow musicians!”

Elkin Presbyterian Church is looking for musicians at all levels!
Tonya Smith, our Director of Music Ministries believes in connection coming before perfection. Building relationships with all people through music is her passion. She believes that music is the fabric of humanity, and we must sew our garment well. “Music unites us both culturally and spiritually. It serves to help us understand each other and broadens our world view as well as creates a vessel of communication with our Creator.”
We currently have a children’s music time beginning at 9:45 am Sunday mornings. Additionally, we are forming a Unity Band, led by Tommy Jackson, that welcomes beginners through advanced musicians ages 12-18. The Unity Band meets every Wednesday evening at 6:30 pm in our band room.
Our hand bell choir is for adults of all ages and all ability levels from beginner to advanced. This group gathers to fellowship and play beautiful music together while gaining a sense of spirituality through the angelic sound of handbells.
Our adult choir meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 pm.
Come UNITE with us through our music programs. Join us in being a Servant in Song!
