...Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19
The Music Ministry of Highland Park Presbyterian Church understands the power music has to influence, inspire and instill the love of Christ in one’s soul. Through various ministry opportunities, our church celebrates the gift of music as we express our love to God, and builds community as we make music together.

Organs
The pipe organs of Highland Park Presbyterian are a significant physical and aural presence in our worship: ‘painting’ texts of hymns through use of various tone colors, creating a ‘mood’ based on the theme for the day through voluntaries and improvisation, and providing solid accompaniment to vocal and instrumental ensembles. The organs are powerful outreach tools of the Church, opening eyes and ears to the majesty and glory of God through inspiring music.
