Concerts with a Cause
CWC brahms bows 2008 | Concerts with a Cause
Concerts with a Cause brings prominent musicians to our community. Generous donors allow us to offer the concert series free of charge. At each concert, we collect a "love offering" - not for the performers - but for a local service organization.

Christianity has always been associated with great works of art and beauty, expressing the inexpressible and transcending the earthbound. It is our prayer that these concerts will help you find God here. As we gather, we also hope to benefit service organizations which are doing good work for the Kingdom of God in our community. Since its beginning in 2003, Concerts with a Cause has donated $123,574.69 to 38 organizations.

A professionally-staffed nursery is provided at each concert. A reception follows most concerts , excluding Christmas Eve, in our Fellowship Hall.

 There is no one who is not a singer when she leads.” –GIA Quarterly

“Flawless technique made this music sound perfect on the organ, and we went out
into the night, grateful for a musician who at the tender age of twenty-three can play
to this astounding standard, at the same time without a trace of shallowness or
overwrought showmanship. Don’t miss him the next time he’s in town!”
– The Boston Musical Intelligencer
