Psalm Singing Is Our Heritage

From the earliest days of our denomination, it was understood that a church without music wasn’t a church. The music that made a church? Psalms. Within a year of founding, this new congregation at 107 LaGrave Avenue supplied itself with a sufficient number of United Presbyterian Psalters and a small choir. A determined organist arrived in 1893 to formally establish a chancel choir, procure a small pipe organ, and develop a tradition of musical excellence which is still evident today.
