Chancel Choir
Our Chancel Choir is a family of 25 singers who spend time in rehearsal and fellowship on Thursday nights. Each season the Chancel Choir presents anthems for worship that are very diverse in style and are always focused on scripture lessons. We would love for you to be a part of our family, to lead others to Christ through music. Click here to listen to the St. Matt's Chancel Choir.
Handbell Choir
Handbells have become a very powerful tool for worship at St. Matthew's. Our three octave Handbell Choir has the excitement and energy to attract wonderful ringers over 
the years. We appreciate the intricacies of musical worship while never loosing the heart of serving Christ through our presentations. We are always open to adding new ringers. Click here to listen to the Handbell Ensemble playing in worship.
Children's Choirs
We are blessed to have a very strong Children's Music Ministry. Just within the elementary age membership we have a graded program consisting of three musical groups. One is an early development group that learns bible stories through music, movement, and games. Another is a transition group that prepares children to lead music in worship. The oldest aged group is a full fledged worship leading choir that sings anthems, hymns, descants, and special music in worship once every six weeks.
