University Place Christian Church has always had a strong music heritage. In fact, it has had one of the most prominent church music programs in the community. The church's Reuter pipe organ and the choirs all have played an important part of the worship experience.

Sergei Pavlov is our Director of Music. Sergi brings his knowledge of great church music and enthusiasm to continue the excellence of music to the life and worship exerperience to UPCC.

We can not think about the music program or the organ without remembering Paul Pettinga, who was professor emeritus of the U. of I. Organ Department, and served this church faithfully for over four decades beginning in 1950 as organist and choirmaster.
