Sing & Play

Wesley Church and Foundation offer many ways to make a joyful noise to the Lord! If you sing or play an instrument, please consider joining one of these groups to share your music with others.


Chancel Choir

Interested in playing with a Praise Band?
Wesley is looking for talented and dedicated musicians to join our contemporary praise band. Our current need is for a drummer, lead guitarist, bassist, and synth player, but honestly we’re open for anything! Repertoire is pretty current with worship trends, though we will dig into ancient hymns and more. Come check us out, or at least send an email!
