Northminster Presbyterian Church - Detroit, Michigan
The mission of Northminster is to bear witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ, to nourish spiritual and personal growth in all our members, to accept and care for members and others we may touch, and to reveal God’s love in the larger community.
Northminster’s music program has always been a vital part of the worship and community life of our congregation. We were one of the first churches in the metro Detroit area to have handbells, a set of Petit & Fritzens stored in a wicker basket, back in the early ‘60s!
Over the years, our vocal and handbell choirs have participated in workshops, festivals, and concerts in the Detroit area and other states. The choir performed in Orchestra Hall with the DSO as part of the 300th birthday celebration of Bach and Handel in the ‘80s.
Northminster has always been blessed with many talented musicians that allow us to be creative in our worship. On any Sunday, music might include selections from “Godspell,” Aaron Copland, Paul Winter, J.S. Bach, Andre Thomas, music from the Sacred Harp, from around the world, and from all different eras. Many of our members and children also play instruments and those gifts add to the richness of our musical life.
Adult Choir
Our Adult Choir has a varied repertoire. It performs music from many eras and styles, including Renaissance madrigals, Early American hymns, gospel, contemporary music of all kinds, and music from all over the world.
Northminster Bells
Northminster Bells is a high school through adult group that rings five-octave music using complicated notation and advanced techniques.
Some of the ringers in NB have been ringing for more than 30 years! The handbell choir also uses hand chimes and percussion instruments to enhance the music. Both of Northminster’s bell choirs participate in American Guild of English Handbell Ringers (AGEHR) events and try to attend one mass ring each year.
All God’s Children
Formed in 2000, All God’s Children is a joint venture of Northminster’s Music and Christian Education programs. Children age 2 through grade 6 meet with adults who use stories, songs, and fellowship to build an appreciation of music as a worship offering.We believe it is important to foster an atmosphere of fellowship that makes ours a special church home.
