Music

Music at Saint James’ Warrenton is traditional, centered on a choir and organ. Music is woven throughout the liturgy each Sunday at the 10:15 a.m. service, and there are generally several special music services throughout the year — especially during Advent and Holy Week.

Adult choir

Our volunteer choir rehearses each Thursday at 7 p.m. during the program year (September to May).

The Saint James’ choral experience is one of a strong community, music education and history, and leadership. The choir at Saint James’ is open to all skill levels and schedules. Each rehearsal dedicates time to train voices to sing and to read music. Additionally, the choir has numerous opportunities to sing even if dedicating every Thursday doesn’t fit your schedule. One of the most vital elements of church choirs is their role in worship. Aside from the choral anthem, the choir serves to lead and inspire congregational singing for all the hymns and service music. The music for worship is practiced and sung with the same intentionality as the choral music.

Handbells

The handbell choir can be a joyful musical outlet for those who don’t sing or play an instrument. Our handbell choir participates in several services throughout the year, especially during Advent and Holy Week. Handbell rehearsals are held on Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
