Music at St. Paul'sThe music program and ministry at St. Paul's Church is highly regarded not only by its parishioners, but by the larger Bay Area community. Our music program, mirrors the diversity of our parish, of our community, and celebrates the rich and varied history of sacred Christian music. During a typical service at St. Paul’s, the congregation may sing Gregorian Chant, Lutheran Chorales, Victorian Hymns, Negro Spirituals and Gospel music.
St. Paul’s Church has truly magnificent acoustics. This is most beautifully elevated in the contemplative monthly service of Evensong and the a cappella service of Compline. We invite you to walk through our doors on any Sunday, to experience the beauty and power of music in this sacred space.
