Our central worship service of the week centers on the proclamation of Holy Scripture through preaching, reading and a wide variety of choral, solo and instrumental music.

St. John's hosts a meditative candlelight service of prayer in the style of the Taizé community in France on the first Thursday of each month. Repetitive congregational singing of the beautiful songs from Taizé and generous use of silence calms and focuses the mind and heart.

Our Chancel Choir sings a wide variety of choral repertoire. The choir sings most Sundays at the 10:30 a.m. service (mid-September through May). They also sing at the once monthly (October through June) Evening Prayer services (music in the style of Taize), and at other special services.

Messiah Choir (October-December)
St. John's Music Ministry has a tradition of singing the Christmas portion (Part I) of Handel's Messiah as part of a 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning service during Advent. The 45-voice choir, soloists and chamber orchestra, including trumpets from the balconies, seek “to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child.” Singers, as well as the many visitors attending this service, are spiritually enriched and renewed.

St. John's Children's Choirs provide love and joy through Christian music.

St. John's Triune Concert Series has the distinction of being Columbus’ oldest church concert series. Every year, the series helps St. John's to share diverse musical offerings with the community in a lovely acoustical and architectural setting.

History of the Triune Concerts
In 1993 at the "Mostly Mozart" concert, internationally acclaimed soprano Elizabeth Holleque performed with her husband, Alessandro Siciliani, music director of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, conducting the Triune Concert Orchestra. Other musical offerings over the years include: The Oberlin Baroque Ensemble; The Early Interval; the Singing Boys of Pennsylvania; The Ohio Boy Choir; Organists Heinz Wunderlich (Germany), Lionel Rogg (Switzerland), Piet Kee (Holland), Richard Townend (England), August Humer (Austria), Dennis James, Marianne Webb, Susan Ferre, Charles Benbow, and Gerre Hancock; The Columbus Symphony Brass Quintet; The Columbus Symphony String Quartet; The Columbus Symphony Woodwind Quintet; Oberlin College Concert Choir, Heidelberg College Concert Choir, The Ohio Village Singers, and The American Boychoir (Princeton).

It is our hope that these concerts will be spiritually refreshing and that audiences will return often to St. John’s.

We hope you will plan to join us for this year's Triune Concert Series. As always, admission is free; parking is free, and a freewill offering will be collected to support our worship, music and outreach programs.
