Music at RBCC
The music program at Richmond Beach Congregational Church has a long history of excellence. We offer opportunities for musicians of all types and levels of proficiency to perform, as well as opportunities for vocal and/or instrumental soloists or small ensembles. RBCC Choir meets weekly on Thursday evenings at 7pm PST.
For general information, questions, suggestions, or to access information for our Thursday evening rehearsals, please contact Katie Skovholt, Director of Music, at katie@rbccucc.org.
“Music… will help dissolve your perplexities and purify your character and sensibilities, and in time of care and sorrow, will keep a fountain of joy alive in you.”

FAQs
How are the hymns and songs chosen for each service?
Our choir director consults with other worship leaders to select hymns and songs based on the upcoming themes and scripture readings.
Hymn choices are based on a number of criteria:
Appropriate text to match the theme and flow of the service
A mixture of familiar and new pieces, as well as traditional and contemporary styles
Singability for the congregation
Copyright availability for streaming services
We welcome suggestions and requests!
How do I join the choir?
Our choir does not require that you be able to read music (though it is helpful!) and no prior experience is necessary. Katie would be happy to talk with you about potential choir membership.
How can I participate in music during streaming services?
Email Katie! She can help you to find a song that fits your instrument, schedule coordinate with other musicians, and find the way to participate that works best for you.
