Our Choir
We have a small but talented choir that sings on the second and fourth Sundays of each month and on special occasions. We currently rehearse on the Wednesday evening before the second and fourth Sunday at 7:45 p.m. (following the Campus Ministry Service and Dinner) and on choir Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the nave. The choir sings during the school year and for special special occasions such as our annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week and others. You are invited to join us!
Our Organ
The St. Andrew's Organ was built by D. A. Flentrop Orgelbouw in Zaandam, Holland and installed in 1958. It arrived in the Port of Mobile on April 28, 1958 in four cases weighing 2,264 pounds. The organ has six ranks played on one manual automatically coupled to the pedal board. The organ has 364 pipes.

Guitar Services
Each Wednesday evening and on the third Sunday of each month, we have a less formal guitar service. We use music from the Alleluia II songbook, from the Alabama Cursillo Movement, and other resources to enhance our worship. If you play guitar or other acoustic string or wind instrument and would like to join us, please see Justin Finch.
Instruments
On most Sunday mornings we enjoy the sound of the pipe organ; however, on special occasions we enjoy experiencing the talents of the members of the congregation who play instruments. On Christmas Eve and Easter we have been known to have trumpets, flutes, euphonium, violin, and percussion. If you are interested in playing with our instrumental ensemble for special services, please see Justin Finch, our music director.
Fifth Sunday Services
On the fifth Sunday of each month we have a full service with Eucharist but no music. This service provides time for silent prayer and reflection.
