Close Godalming Minster

From traditional choral to electric guitar, drum and bass you can find it all at Godalming Minster, and we welcome new musicians.  With six Sunday services there’s plenty of opportunity for you to get involved!

Choir

Godalming Minster Church Street is home to the regular choir which accompanies the traditional choral eucharist services and a monthly evensong.  The current choir is proud to have sung for services at Winchester, Chichester and Guildford cathedrals, but they come together chiefly to enhance the worship experience for the congregation, and enable everyone to take part in the singing with confidence.  They are accompanied by the fabulous George Hill organ, which, word has it, is one of the finest in the diocese!

You can find the latest music list by selecting a choral service in the service calendar.

If you know your Latin and your tonal register, please get in touch with the Master of Choristers to find out about being part of this rich heritage.

Elsewhere across Godalming Minster, choirs may “pop up” for special occasions, and most regularly at St Peter’s Hambledon which holds evensong services 3-4 times a year.

 

Contemporary worship in Godalming

Contemporary worship has been a fundamental part of the Minster’s more recent heritage at Busbridge, and today services at Brighton Road and Church Street are led by one of the worship bands.

Our song list features the most popular Christian chart toppers from Hillsong, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin… to allow everyone to connect deeply in worship during services.

The bands can be made up of any variety of classical and modern instruments and all musicians are invited to get involved.  We encourage young musicians to join in, most regularly at the 6pm Evening Service at Brighton Road.

Something in between

Hymns are sung at the Classic services at Brighton Road accompanied by the organ or piano, and at Hambledon traditional hymns are combined with some worship songs too.

Franklyn Road also sings a mixture and is looking to build its team of musicians.
