Music Style
Music at Christ the King is typically “blended.” This means we pray the liturgy in many different musical genres/styles on any given Sunday; from ancient to modern day, and from different regions around the world. Depending on the day or season, we many lean more toward one particular style over others, but it’s all there throughout the year. You will encounter contemporary praise & worship music, traditional hymns, gospel, folk music from around the world, and liturgical music ranging from chants to contemporary music depending on the time of year. Come join us as we partake in the everlasting song together with the saints from every age and every region!
Check out our YouTube channel
Our “Playlist” page contains live-streams of full Masses, as well as music we typically sing for each major season of the church year.
Invitation to Get Involved…
If God has blessed you with a musical talent, I encourage you to use it – and you are certainly invited to do so here at Christ the King. Whether it is singing or playing an instrument (there’s a place for ANY instrument here, trust me!) or both, I invite you to contact me about getting involved.
