Music Ministry

There’s a place for you...

At Oakland, music is one of the ways we pray, celebrate, reflect, and connect with one another. Our Music Ministry is made up of people of all ages, backgrounds, skill levels, and musical interests — and there is truly a place for everyone.

Some people have sung in choirs their whole lives. Others are picking music back up after years away. Some read music fluently; others simply love to sing or play alongside others. Wherever you find yourself, you are welcome here.

We believe music is about more than performance. It is about community, encouragement, creativity, worship, and sharing our gifts together. Through choir, handbells, instrumental ensembles, children and youth music, seasonal opportunities, and special projects throughout the year, we seek to create spaces where people can grow spiritually, build friendships, and participate meaningfully in the life of the church.

Our worship life reflects both the richness of tradition and the creativity of a living, growing community of faith. On any given Sunday, you may hear a hymn sung with organ and choir, a handbell offering, a contemporary congregational song, or music led by a smaller ensemble of voices and instruments. We value excellence, but we also value authenticity, participation, and joy.

As the hymn reminds us, “Let every instrument be tuned for praise.” At Oakland, we believe every voice matters and every gift has a place. Whether you are an experienced musician or simply someone looking for connection and community, we would love for you to join us.
