Music Ministry
Instrumental Ensembles

Celebrate God and all He has given us by becoming a part of our music ministry. There is room for people of all ages to participate in the St. Stephen Music Ministry. St. Stephen has several choirs and instrumental groups, each offering a different experience and way to worship God through music. The Music Ministry is led by Connie Touchton, the Director of Music and Organist at St. Stephen. Please feel free to contact the church if you have any questions about Music Ministry or any of the music opportunities listed below.
