Music has the power to lift the spirits and soothe the soul. At Trinity, the purpose of music is to enhance worship and help us feel closer to our Creator through songs of praise and worship. Trinity has had a long-standing tradition of quality music. The traditional 11:00 a.m. service features music for voices of all ages, our Casavant pipe organ, the Yamaha grand piano, and a five octave set of Whitechapel handbells. The 8:30 a.m. service is less formal and includes music with piano and guitar accompaniment.
