Pray Twice
Music & Arts
"Those who sing pray twice" — St. Augustine
A Tradition of Excellence
St. Philip's has a long-standing tradition of excellent music. Our musical mission enriches worship and reflects the many ways people love to pray in song from the Anglican tradition and beyond.
Whether you're an experienced musician or just beginning, there's a place for you in our music ministry.

Taizé Worship
Taizé worship features prayerful, meditative music that serves as musical centering prayer. Simple melodies repeat, moving prayer from head to heart.
This contemplative form of worship creates space for silence, candlelight, and the gentle repetition of sacred songs. Taizé services are offered periodically throughout the year.
