The Sanctuary Choir
Music Ministry
Our Music Ministry has long been a cornerstone of worship, praise, and community life within our church. The Sanctuary Choir & Band lead worship each Sunday at the 10:00 a.m. service, offering music that is both spiritually grounded and artistically excellent. Featuring some of the finest musicians in the Los Angeles area, the ministry blends heartfelt gospel tradition with dynamic, contemporary expression—creating worship experiences that are reverent, joyful, and deeply engaging. Beyond weekly worship, the Choir also presents concerts and hosts special musical events throughout the year, extending the reach of ministry through song.
Rooted in a rich and proud musical legacy, the Sanctuary Choir stands on the foundation laid by visionary leaders, including the renowned Dr. Albert McNeil. Honoring this history while looking boldly toward the future, our music ministry continues to evolve in sound and scope while remaining anchored in excellence and faith. Today, the ministry is led by professional vocalist Ashley Faatoalia, whose leadership reflects a deep respect for tradition alongside a passion for expressive, Spirit-led worship that speaks to today’s congregation and generations to come.
All members are welcome to join the choir and participate in leading worship on Sundays. We accommodate all musical abilities. Whether you read music, play an instrument or if you've never made music before, there is a spot for you. If you are interested in joining The Sanctuary Choir please email our church council here and someone will be happy to discuss next steps.
