Christ Episcopal Church

Ponte Vedre Beach, Florida

Music and Arts

Christ Church’s music program features a diverse offering of choral, praise and traditional church music. Led by  music minister, Dr. Timothy McKee, Christ Church invites its parishioners to embrace their worship experience by lifting their voices to the Lord in song.

The music and arts program also offers opportunities for musicians to let their light so shine, performing for various services at the church.

Chancel Choir - The Chancel Choir is a diverse group of parishioners who give the gift of music to the parish Sundays at the 11:15 AM service in the church as well as on Feast Days throughout the year. Special offerings are also presented to the community. Rehearsals are held Wednesdays at 7 PM in the choir room. All are invited as we lift our voices in praise and share God's gift of music.

Christ Church Choir School - Christ Church offers professional music instruction (free of charge) for children ages three and up, helping them grow spiritually, intellectually, socially, and culturally as they discover their potential through the wonder of music. Led by Marianne Murray, Associate Director of Music, the Choir School rewards children for growth in Christian Formation, musical skills, and citizenship as they progress at their own pace. The choirs perform throughout the community, and the older children travel to a major U.S. city annually to share their music.
