Music & Worship

High quality and soul-stirring music, particularly in the Anglican choral tradition, is instrumental in the promotion of the whole parish’s mission and ministry at St John’s Finch Street. Worship is at the heart of our response to God’s love for us and the world as we are called to offer praise and thanksgiving in prayer and song. There is perhaps no more effective way to communicate and commend the power of the Gospel than through inspiring music set rightly in the context of the community of faith at prayer.
