Get Involved

St. Ann's Episcopal Church is a growing parish with numerous opportunities for participation. The best way to get involved is to come and worship for several Sundays. As you become more familiar with this community of faith, you will find many opportunities in which to participate. We hope that you will volunteer in areas where you can offer particular gifts and experience a sense of joy.

For more information on any committee, call the church office at 615.254.3534.

Outreach

Mission Statement: To participate more fully in the healing of a broken world.

St. Ann's Outreach begins with our Diocesan commitment, which supports the national and international ministries of the Episcopal Church. We also participate in a number of local efforts such as, the Sunday Lunch Program, Room at the Inn, and People at our Door.

Choir

Mission Statement: To enhance the worship experience through music.

Music has a significant role in the spiritual life of the community at St. Ann's. It has power to uplift, to teach and to unite. It is an integral part of our worship. The Choir's purpose is to enhance the liturgy and support and lead the people in worship. The varied parts of our community bring diverse musical gifts as an offering. It is therefore the goal of the music program to be as inclusive of as many gifts as possible. There are both an adult and a children's choir. The all-volunteer adult choir meets on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. If you are interested in playing a part in the music of the parish, contact the Director of Music.
