At Towson Presbyterian Church, corporate worship is central to our faith community. Music has long been a powerful way to express and share faith. From hymns to choirs with organ accompaniment, to instrumentalists of all kinds, melodies lift the spirit and give voice when words fall short.
Our Music Ministry supports the weekly proclamation of the Word, and there is a place for you in one of our singing or ringing groups.
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir is the prominent leading body of congregational song in our church. We rehearse weekly on Thursday evenings from 7:30–9:00pm, and sing each Sunday morning for worship, except for when we break for approximately 12 weeks during the summer months. In addition to the literature sung on Sunday mornings, the Chancel Choir prepares major choral works and other programs that are sung either in worship or at other times in the life of the church. Music for worship is intentionally diverse, offering the widest inclusivity of western classical traditions as well as a healthy representation of cross-cultural practices, gospel, and spirituals.
Chancel Handbells Choir
The Chancel Handbells meet weekly on Tuesday evenings from 7:30–8:30pm. Dedicated ringers of all ages make up this ensemble. They support our Music Ministry in worship throughout the year playing voluntaries and hymn arrangements. They ring five octaves of handbells and three octaves of choirchimes.
Children's Choir
The Children’s Choir is for 2nd-5th graders who want to explore musical expression and prepare to lead worship. They sing as well as play handchimes and drums. Parents are encouraged to join in the fun. They meet for 30 minutes after worship each week. Stephen Harouff, TPC Director of Music, is the teacher. Contact Stephen at sharouff@towsonpres.org.
