Music Program  
Mission Statement: The music program at the Church of the Epiphany seeks to involve individuals of all ages in the pursuit of the Divine through the sacred art form of music. The groups that comprise the music program form a community that is grounded in the beauty and creativity of the music and tradition of the Anglican Church. We seek to blend this rich musical heritage with the music of other cultures as we embrace the global nature of the church.
Except where otherwise indicated, the contact for Music Programs is our Organist & Choirmaster, Jamie Shiell, 404.373.8338 or Vestry Chair, Brent Henderson, 404.288.1188.
