The Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra at Park Cities Baptist Church lead worship each week through music that is both timeless and expressive.
Rooted in the rich tradition of hymnody and choral music, the Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra bring together singers and instrumentalists from across the Dallas community to offer their gifts in worship. From weekly services to major works and seasonal presentations, this is a place where musicians serve with purpose, preparation, and care.
Music is not an addition to worship at Park Cities Baptist Church—it is central to it.
Each week, the Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra lead the congregation through music drawn from the breadth of the sacred tradition, alongside thoughtfully chosen works from today’s composers. From large-scale presentations to weekly anthems, the work is shaped by a shared goal: to use the gifts entrusted to us to lead the church in the worship of God.
This is not performance, but offering. Not occasional, but ongoing
What Makes This Ministry Distinct
This is more than a choir — it is a musical community.
- A large choir and orchestra leading worship each week
- A wide range of repertoire, from classic hymns to major choral works
- Regular presentations of large-scale works during Advent, Easter, and special services
- A place for musicians of varying backgrounds and experience levels
Handbells are also part of the ongoing worship life of Park Cities Baptist Church, adding a distinctive and expressive dimension throughout the year, particularly during Christmas and Easter.
A Living Musical Tradition
While deeply rooted in the historic music of the church, the Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra at Park Cities Baptist Church remain actively engaged with contemporary sacred composition.
Works by Dan Forrest, John Rutter, Mack Wilberg, Craig Courtney, and Keith & Kristyn Getty are presented alongside enduring works from across the choral tradition. This balance reflects a commitment not only to tradition, but to its continued life within the church.
