Do you love to sing, play an instrument, or simply enjoy being part of something beautiful?
The Music Ministry at The Church of St. Paul in the Desert invites you to lift your voice, share your gifts, and help create the soundscape that enriches our worship.
Under the capable leadership of Music Director Charles Peery, our choir is a joyful, welcoming community devoted to offering music that uplifts the spirit and deepens the experience of worship. Whether you’re a seasoned vocalist, an instrumentalist, or someone who enjoys supporting from behind the scenes, there’s a meaningful place for you in our musical family.

- Play an Instrument – Enhance our sound with your musical talent.
- Volunteer with the Music Department – Assist with setup, organization, special events, and more.
A Ministry That Makes Moments Memorable
The choir plays a central role in many of our church’s most beloved celebrations and liturgical traditions. From Welcome Back Sunday to Christmas Services, and through countless festive and contemplative moments throughout the year, the choir helps shape the atmosphere of joy, beauty, and reverence that defines St. Paul’s worship life.
Practice Schedule
During the choir season, we meet twice weekly:
- Thursdays at 5:45 PM
- Sundays immediately following the 11:00 AM service
If you’re ready to make music, build community, and share your gifts in a meaningful way, we would be delighted to welcome you.

Choir News & Updates
Thursday and Sunday choir rehearsals will resume in the Fall. In the meantime, everyone is invited to take part in our Prior Choir, which meets on the first Sunday of each month: July 5, August 2, and September 6. On these Sundays, we gather in the choir loft at 10:00 a.m. to learn an easy anthem for that day’s worship. We do not robe or sit up front, and all are welcome—no prior choir experience required.
For more information about the Prior Choir, please contact our Director of Music at musicdirector@stpauldesert.church.
