The Georgetown Presbyterian Church : Music

Welcome About Us Worship Music Stewardship Education & Ministries Church Life Mission History

Members of our congregation take great pride in our music program. We appreciate scripturally-based preaching and glorious sacred music. The worship music provides moments of quiet, and access to spirituality that most of us do not find elsewhere. It is a source of delight and inspiration to the congregation.

GPC’s dedicated sanctuary choir has 35 members. We have a paid director of music, and stipends for non-member soloists, both supported by bequests. Our 75-minute worship service includes four hymns and an offertory.

In 2005, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of our esteemed director of music, John Lintner.

Church members and youth who have developed skills in instrumental music are encouraged to share their gifts through preludes, postludes, and other appropriate musical offerings.

When the sanctuary was renovated in 1956 particular attention was paid to ensuring a favorable acoustic environment, including the addition of an Aeolian-Skinner organ.

Notes are included in the worship bulletin that provide insight into the composers, the soloists, or the themes for the service. View a sampling of Today's Music . . .
