The Chancel Choir, our main adult choir, leads music for the 10:30 AM Sunday service during the academic year and performs in special concerts throughout the year.

Rehearsals take place Thursday evenings from 7:30–9:00 PM, mid-September through early May.

Directed by staff musicians Robert Hobby and Andrew Peters, the choir occasionally performs with professional orchestra members from the community. Recent highlights include touring southeastern United States in 2025, singing at Carnegie Hall in 2023 and a choir tour to Ireland, Wales, and England in 2019.

Catechesis and Choir: A New Season for Wednesday Nights

If you’ve been to Trinity before, you may remember the arts program E3 (Exploring, Experiencing, & Expressing our Faith through the Arts). We’re excited to kick off a new season of Wednesday night programming with Catechesis and Choir (or C&C).

While E3 offered children the chance to explore the arts, this new season will center on faith formation through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, alongside our continuing choir program—helping our children grow in their relationship with God.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based approach to faith formation that invites children into a real relationship with God through Scripture, liturgy, and hands-on, prayerful work. In a specially prepared space called the atrium, children explore the Bible and the life of the Church at their own pace, guided—not directed—by a trained catechist. Rather than being taught about God, children are given the tools and quiet space to wonder, reflect, and encounter God for themselves. It's a gentle, reverent approach rooted in the belief that children have a unique capacity for spiritual life and a deep, natural bond with God.

Children's Choir (Kindergarten–2nd Grade)

A training choir for singers in kindergarten through second grade, this ensemble focuses on developing vocal and music skills through exercises, games, and songs. The Children's Choir will sing for the 10:30 a.m. service about once a month, along with participating in Candlelight and May Music.

Junior Choir (Grades 3–6)

A third through sixth-grade choir that continues to develop the musical and vocal skills learned in Children's Choir. The Junior Choir will sing for the 10:30 a.m. service about once a month, along with participating in Candlelight and May Music.

This lively, intergenerational group meets Thursdays from 6:10–6:50 p.m. and brings a variety of music to worship about every six weeks during the academic year.

Directed by Robert Hobby, the rehearsal time makes it easy to participate before Chancel Choir practice.

We have two opportunities to be apart of our handbell ensemble.

Celebration Ringers: Beginner & Intermediate Players

Directed by Andrew Peters, the Celebration Ringers are a welcoming handbell group for beginner and intermediate players.

They rehearse Wednesdays from 6:30–7:00 p.m. and share their music in worship about every six weeks.

Trinity Ringers: Advanced Players

Trinity Ringers is our advanced handbell ensemble, rehearsing Wednesdays from 7:00–8:15 p.m. and playing regularly in worship and community events.

In 2026, the Trinity Ringers had the opportunity to play for the National Director's Seminar for the Handbell Music Association Conference.

Directed by Trinity member Shannon Hardiek, this group performs more challenging music and participation is limited due to ensemble size.

Trinity is blessed with many talented instrumentalists. Professional musicians often join us for major festivals and concerts, but members of the congregation also share their gifts in worship.

Past ensembles have included a brass choir, recorder consort, and bassoon trio.

Whether you sing or play an instrument regularly—or would simply like to help with a special project—we would love to hear from you.

Contact Robert Hobby at rhobby@trinityenglish.org if you’re interested in getting involved.

Plus: Throughout the year, smaller vocal groups form for special services and events. These may include Men’s Chorus, Women’s Chorus, or Chamber Choir, depending on the season and upcoming programs.
