Music at St. Peter's Church
Music has always played a vital role at St. Peter's Church. To provide the music at all of our services, we have several different groups including choirs, bell choirs, and even a praise band. For children, we have the Jubilation Choir and the Bellissima Ringers. Adults may enjoy participating in the St. Peter's Choir or King's Peal. St. Peter's is also proud to be one of the few churches in the diocese to have our own praise band: Peter's Rock.

Ensembles
St. Peter's Choir
The St. Peter's Choir provides music primarily at the 11:00 AM service and all feast day services. The focus of their music is primarily that of the Anglican tradition, although they are versatile in a number of styles. Rehearsals are held every Thursday at 7:30 PM in the choir room.
Jubilation Choir
The Jubilation Choir performs periodically during the program year primarily at the 9:00 AM service. Children in the 3rd grade or higher are invited to participate. Rehearsals are held every Wednesday at 6:15 PM in the choir room.
King's Peal
King's Peal is our adult bell choir which performs periodically during the program year. Rehearsals are held every Monday at 7:30 PM in the church.
Bellissima Ringers
Children from 3rd grade and above form our Bellissima Ringers. The Bellissima Ringers perform several times during the year and rehearse on Wednesdays at 5:30 PM in the church. In the past, the Bellissima Ringers have played for several community Thanksgiving services. They have also performed in 1991 and 1999, by audition only, in Disney World.
Peter's Rock
Peter's Rock was formed in 2002 to provide music for our first annual Tent Revival. It proved to be so popular that we've become a regular part of the worship experience at the 9:00 AM service. We provide a contemporary sound to the weekly liturgy, but can also frequently be heard outside of St. Peter's in venues around the state. Rehearsals are every Wednesday at 7:30 PM in the church.
