The Word of God is proclaimed through preaching and song at Moorings Presbyterian, which has a rich history of providing quality music in worship services, masterworks and the Hyacinth Series. All ages can explore an avenue of service through choirs, handbells, the organ, many instruments, serving communion, ushering, greeting and serving as liturgists.

Hyacinth Series
Moorings Presbyterian Church has a vibrant performing arts ministry and offers concerts and recitals each season. The 900-seat sanctuary houses a 4,315-pipe organ and a Fazioli grand piano. All concerts begin at 4 p.m., unless noted otherwise.
The Sterritte Family Organ, which showcases 57 stops, 75 ranks and 4,315 pipes, was installed in 2008. The Solo Organ, installed in June 2018, has significantly increased the tonal palette and dynamic range. It was constructed by Nichols & Simpson Organbuilders.
In April 2017, the church, with generous gifts from many members, purchased a handcrafted 9-foot Fazioli grand piano for the sanctuary to complement and support the music offerings.
