Music at SJB

Choir, Bells, and More!

The SJB Choir and Bell Choir brings music to our worship services by helping to lead the congregation in hymns, as well as performing special anthems and other pieces throughout the year. 

The SJB choir meets to rehearse weekly on Thursdays and fills our 10:30 a.m. Sunday service with beautiful music under the direction of Dr. Thomas Aláan.

If you are interested in joining the choir, please email our Music Director.

Join us for the Second Community Messiah Sing-Along in November!

Second Community Messiah Sing-Along!
Friday, Nov. 20, 2026

Join your voices and raise your instruments with singers and instrumentalists from around Seattle for the Second Community Messiah Sing-Along on Friday, November 20, 2026, at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church. Written by George Frideric Handel in 1741, Messiah — and especially the "Hallelujah Chorus" — has become one of the most widely performed and recognized pieces of Western music. This sing-along will include choruses, solos, and instrumental music from Part I: The Birth of Jesus (about 1 hour) — and yes, the "Hallelujah Chorus," too!
