Other Information
College Hill Presbyterian Church has a history of enjoying high-quality, and sometimes eclectic, music as part of our single Sunday morning worship service. A music endowment helps to underwrite the cost of the overall music program. This has allowed us to bring in occasional hired musicians to perform in many styles, from classical to jazz to international folk music. We also have intentionally encouraged musicians of all ages and abilities from the congregation to offer their talents in support of our worship life.
