"Jazz with a splash of spirituality"
We are pleased to announce the launch of our “Jazz on High” series. It is a musically-oriented Sunday evening worship celebration featuring a collection of jazz musicians and styles befitting Middle Church’s multicultural and multiracial heritage. We are launching big with some incredibly talented and well known artists. This is a fantastic way to introduce your friends and family to Middle Church and for you all to close out the weekend with spiritually based and musically stimulating performances to feed your mind and get you ready for the week ahead.
