The Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary Choir is a vital part of our Music Ministry at Outer Banks Presbyterian Church. The choir is made up of a group of 25-30 volunteer singers and presents special music at our Morning Worship Services. In addition to the regular worship services, the Sanctuary Choir presents 4 Major musical presentations per year: "The Promise" (Easter), "Let Freedom Ring" (Patriotic), Our Annual Music Sunday, and "Christmas at Outer Banks Presbyterian". The Sanctuary Choir also provides special music at our Maundy Thursday Communion Service and our Christmas Eve Worship Service.

We welcome any and all to come and join us. Our rehearsals are on Wednesday Evenings from 7 pm-8:15 pm and on Sunday Mornings from 9:15 am-9:35 am. For more information on the Sanctuary Choir, please contact Jason Evans or Nonie Booth.

The Jubilate Ringers (Handbell Choir)

The Jubilate Ringers is our Handbell Choir. This group of 12 ringers presents music not only on various Sunday Mornings throughout the church year, but also during special presentations, such as "Let Freedom Ring", "Music Sunday" and during the Christmas Season. The handbell choir always welcomes additional ringers! We rehearse on Wednesday Evenings from 6:00-6:45 pm in the Sanctuary. Please join us!

A New Organ for Our Church!

In the fall of 2007, our church began investigating the possibility of the purchase of a new organ for our sanctuary due to mechanical failures of the old organ. Through the extreme generosity of our congregants, we quickly raised the money to purchase a new organ and a contract was signed in the Spring of 2008 with the Rodgers Organ Company. Our new organ arrived the day after our 2008 "Let Freedom Ring" concert in July and has been bringing glorious music to all who have heard it! The new organ is a Rodgers Trillium Masterpiece 928. The organ console has 3-manuals, drawknobs and pedals with Rosewood Sharps and Ivora Naturals, and a 2-tone wood console. The dedicatory recital was held on Sunday Morning, July 27, 2008 and was led by our church's organist, Jason Evans. Two other organ concerts were held in our dedicatory series. The first was on August 10, 2008 by Mr. Monty Bennet and the second was on September 21, 2008 and was played by Mr. Corey Powell!
