The Sanctuary Choir sings from a large repertoire of sacred choral music, including Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony, Classical and Romantic oratorio choruses, great English sacred choral anthems, and the best of contemporary music for the traditional church. The repertoire is sung in English, Latin, French, German, and other languages; and, it includes the works of composers as diverse as Mendelssohn, Faure, Durufle, Brahms, Rorem, Pinkham, and Palestrina. In addition to Sunday worship, the ensemble also provides musical leadership for the December Carol-Sing, Christmas Eve services, and Holy Week liturgies. In preparation for Christmas and Easter, the ensemble expands into a Festival Choir, inviting occasional singers to participate in choral activities; and, during the summer months, a small core of singers helps to provide musical leadership for weekly worship.

The Chancel Choir focuses on more advanced choral music for young people, and overlaps for 30 minutes with the adult choir rehearsal so that the members can learn to sing advanced anthems with the larger group. Sight-reading skills are sharpened by requiring all members to read multiple voice parts.

The treble choir is designed to give young people an opportunity to express themselves musically in a faith-centered environment. Music selections tend to be unison, canons/rounds, or simple two-part pieces of a sacred nature, chosen especially to both relate to the liturgical season and scriptural themes of the day as well as illustrate a particular musical idea or technique to the singers.

The training choir is designed for children who are not yet old enough to read with great accuracy, but who are able to learn basic concepts of pitch and rhythm. Children are taught by rote to learn hymns, spirituals, and simple anthems, and are assisted by members of the Treble Choir when singing at Sunday services.
