Bless, O Lord, us thy servants who minister in thy temple; Grant that what we sing with our lips, we may believe in our hearts, and what we believe in our hearts we may show forth in our lives; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Chorister's Prayer

Peace be with You

Singing as prayer

According to St Augustine, one who sings, prays twice- why not double your prayer time and join the choir?

Our choir practices on Sunday mornings* from September to June.

All are welcome, no need for auditions, or professional credentials.

*with some special rehearsals leading up to Christmas/ Holy Week/ Easter

Music at St John's

About Music in Worship

The music ministry at St. John's, under the direction of Minister of Music, William Clisham, is an important part of worship and outreach to Salem and the surrounding area. The 10:30 service each Sunday is accompanied by outstanding vocals from the choir and beautiful instrumentals from our organ. The choir consists of volunteer singers with professional section leaders.

St. John’s Church is fortunate to have the largest and most versatile pipe organ in Salem County, a three-manual, 30 rank organ built by Kimball in 1937, modified and enlarged in 1967, and still maintained by Jacob Gerger & Sons.
