The staff and membership of Hidenwood Presbyterian Church believe that music is essential to the life of the congregation. Through music God enables us to hear and receive faith’s deepest truths, inspires within us love and loyalty, and gives us voice to offer our thanks to God. As an integral part of the church’s music ministry, the concert series Music in the Woods endeavors to encourage, foster and nurture the God-given talents in the field of music in our congregation and community.
