Music

"Whoever sings, prays twice." — St. Augustine

At Incarnation, we consider beauty to be proof for the existence of God. The indescribable beauty of music bears God into our very hearts and souls. The sound of our organ, the leadership of our choirs, the concerts that take place in our space, and our own voices lifted up in song glorify God and elevate our spirits in praise.


Parish Choir

choir_824

The Parish Choir leads our music at the 10:15 Sunday Eucharist and other special liturgies. This choir welcomes beginners and experienced singers alike—all that's needed is a willingness to commit to rehearsals and services, and a desire to worship through song.


Organ

Built by Casavant of Montreal, our organ has thirty-two ranks composed of three manual divisions, playable from two keyboards, with two stops for the pedal division. 1,886 pipes of metal and wood give the instrument a wide range of color and volume.

Our Parish Vision for Music

During spring 2022 Incarnation held a Music Discernment Process that included a Town Hall meeting and a congregational survey. You can read the Music Vision Statement that came out of that process here:

Jun Kim
Director of Music

    Jun Kim

    Director of Music

    The teachings and guidance received from great musicians, teachers, colleagues, and great human beings from all walks of life have made Jun the passionate musician he is today. His training in piano began in South Korea, leading to undergraduate studies at Manhattan School of Music and graduate studies at the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College. Having been inspired by Anthony Newman (organ), Arthur Burrows (voice), the choristers of St. Luke’s Parish (Darien CT under the direction of Erich Balling and Neal Campbell), and the boys at St. Thomas Choir School (NY), he chose the path of church music ministry. After serving as choirmaster and organist at Grace Church (Whitestone, NY) and Christ Church (Tarrytown, NY), Jun was called to serve St. John’s Episcopal Church, Oakland, CA, as Minister of Music. There, he worked tirelessly in building an all-inclusive music ministry where children of all ages come together in faith and song - sharing the gift of music that he had received. In 2018, family circumstances returned Jun to his home state of New Jersey, giving him an opportunity to serve St. John’s, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, during the pandemic. In fall 2022 Jun and family returned to California and Jun began his ministry as our Director of Music.

    Welcome Getting Here Children The Service What's Next?

    People decide to visit a church for lots of different reasons, often because they're at some sort of transition point in their lives. Maybe you're a longtime Episcopalian; maybe you have experience in another faith tradition; or maybe you've never been to a faith community at all.

    Whoever you are, and wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you enrich us with your presence, and there's a place for you here.

    Learn more about visiting Incarnation.

    Incarnation is located at 550 Mendocino Avenue in downtown Santa Rosa, just south of the corner with Cherry Street.

    Our church parking lot is located around the corner at 636 Cherry Street. The lot often fills up for our Sunday morning services. Additional free church parking is available in the small gravel lot at the corner of Mendocino and Cherry, or in the city garage at 521 7th Street (free on Sundays), which is a two-minute walk from the church. Finally, street parking is also free on Sundays.

    We're also located close to several bus lines, and we have a bike rack in the central courtyard.

    Children aren't just the church's future—they're an essential part of our faith community right now. At Incarnation we strive to serve our kids' growing faith, and we know they have much to teach adults, too. Children are always welcome in worship: any age, any time.

    Learn more about our children's ministries.

    Episcopal worship follows an ancient pattern that dates to the earliest days of the Christian church. The first half of the Eucharist is the Liturgy of the Word the second half is the Liturgy of the Table, also called Holy Communion. If you've spent time in Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or Eastern Orthodox churches, much of our liturgy will seem familiar. If you're unfamiliar with liturgical Christian worship, don't worry. You're welcome to participate as fully as is right for you, or to just relax into the liturgy and let the rest of the congregation carry you in worship.

    To stay connected with everything that's going on, please subscribe to our e-newsletter, News and Notes.

    Often someone who's been visiting for a while will ask us how to become a member of Incarnation. Learn more about becoming a member.

    To support our work sharing God's love here in Sonoma County, you can make a donation online.

    Giving is one of the most powerful spiritual practices in existence. It's a statement of gratitude and trust in God.

    At Incarnation we encourage all our members and friends to prayerfully choose a percentage of their income to give toward causes that serve God's mission. We ask that part of that intentional giving be a pledge of financial support to the parish, both so our leadership can plan ahead in making a budget, and as a tangible commitment to what God is doing here at Incarnation. For more on the practice of proportional giving, see this FAQ.
