Music at Northside Presbyterian Church is an integral part of worship and other programs. Hymns and anthems are selected according to the scripture readings and sermon topic for the day. Special music is offered during the Christmas and Easter seasons. Musical styles are varied, ranging from Baroque and Classical masterpieces to contemporary anthems to spirituals. There is something for everyone. Vocal and instrumental soloists are featured throughout the year, many of whom are members of the church. Northside is proud that all members of its fine Chancel Choir are members of the church.
