Binkley’s congregation loves to sing! Supported by choirs and instrumentalists, our congregation relies on the ability to sing hymns and other so  ngs that give voice to the many human emotions and experiences we encounter as individuals and as a community. The congregation participates as singers, listeners, viewers, and through corporate movement. Children, Youth, and Adult choirs are an important aspect of musical life at Binkley. All people, age kindergarten through adult, are invited to share their voices in musical leadership. Choirs strive to demonstrate the beauty that can happen when a community operates harmoniously together. They provide a container for each member to experience his or her individual voice in the context of a group. They are instruments of praise, both for those who sing and for those who listen. Choir members build strong community in the process of rehearsals, and they support the broader community through prayer and care. Instrumentalists come together at different times during the year to support worship. Handbell players, woodwind and string players, and pianists from the congregation contribute solos and ensemble music both in regular services and for special events. MUSIC COMMITTEE The Music Committee oversees the music programs of the church, as they relate to worship and as they support the community in other ways. Comments and requests about Binkley’s music program should be directed to the Music Committee members, who work directly with the Minister of Music and Organist.
