Lifting one sound to the one who saves
Music, in sanctuary and home, should echo the greatness and glory of God. Church music, whether congregational, choral, or children, should be a constant declaration of our Creator and Savior. Weekly, music is focused on what God has done and is currently doing in the hearts and lives of the people in Parkers Chapel.
As a church, we believe God deserves excellence in everything we do. This is no more evident than in the music ministry. From weekly music practice to music education workshops, we strive to give God and our congregation our best as we develop our gifts for the Lord.

The Parkers Chapel Choir
The adult choir, made up of more than 85 singers, is a central part of our music ministry. Singing in both Sunday morning and evening services, the choir’s purpose is to inspire and lead our church family in meaningful, Christ-centered worship. The only requirements to join are church membership and a sincere heart to worship the Lord.
The highlight of our choir calendar is the annual Christmas Nativity Pageant, a full-scale production involving over 200 singers and actors. This community-wide event features our adult choir, children’s choir, small vocal groups, and costumed biblical characters. Each performance brings the story of Christ’s birth to life with dramatic staging, theatrical lighting, and special effects, creating a powerful and memorable worship experience for all who attend.

The Parkers Chapel Orchestra
In 2013, our music ministry began the exciting journey of building an orchestra to accompany our worship music. What started with just a few committed musicians has grown into a vibrant and diverse ensemble that plays a vital role in every service. Today, our orchestra features a beautiful blend of traditional instruments such as piano, violins, trombones, clarinets, flutes, and orchestral percussion, alongside contemporary instruments like guitars, bass, keyboard, and drums. This unique mix enables us to lead the congregation in a wide range of musical expressions—from timeless hymns and sacred arrangements to modern worship songs that speak to today’s hearts. More than just accompaniment, the orchestra helps set a reverent and joyful tone for our services. Each week, they faithfully provide the musical foundation for all worship and choir music during both Sunday morning and evening services, helping guide our church family into heartfelt and unified praise.
