The mission of the music ministry is to lead the All Saints community in liturgies that glorify God, move the heart and challenge the mind—all with great variety, color and reverence. To support this, two adult choirs and four children's/youth choirs (totaling more than 300 singers) work diligently and with great intensity to prepare and offer the finest music in a variety of styles and expressions. It is the intent of the program to grow musically, spiritually and in community. The department will continue to explore new ideas for the future, including working with colleagues, children, youth and adults to co-create a vision that allows the program to grow in service to the church and the community.

Each week, Coventry and Canterbury choirs gloriously lead worshipers in liturgical music that embraces a wide range of traditions and styles, from ancient plainsong to gospel music. Coventry Choir sings about 60 percent of services, September through June, rehearsing every Thursday from 7:30 to 9:45 p.m. Canterbury Choir sings about 40 percent of services, September through June, rehearsing every Wednesday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Both choirs have occasional Saturday morning rehearsals. Membership is by audition. Parishoners whose schedules don't allow the significant time commitment needed for Canterbury and Coventry choirs are invited to consider Summer Choir, which sings for the 11:15 a.m. service each Sunday, July through Labor Day weekend.
