Music is central to our liturgy here at Holy Trinity Church. The church is known for its appreciation of many different styles and genres of music. From Anglican Chant to African American Spirituals many will find a great variety of musical interests. In addition to the use of the Hymnal 1982, the church also makes use of Lift Every Voice and Sing, Wonder Love and Praise and other supplemental hymnals.

During various points throughout the Church Year, Holy Trinity also incorporates the use of professional musicians further enriching our worship of God through the gift of song.
