Music at ACC


“Next to the word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.”


So wrote Martin Luther, and we at Acton Congregational Church resoundingly agree!


We are home to one adult vocal choir, a handbell choir, and a children’s choir. In addition, we have an active music program that is part of our Sunday School program.


Our music program is designed to enhance worship by providing opportunities for our congregation to discover, develop, and share their musical gifts…and it is indeed a musical congregation of soloists and instrumentalists who are generous with their talents.


Our choirs rehearse and perform from September through June; in the summer members of the congregation share their musical gifts in worship.

Our Bell Choir, under the direction of Nancy Barnes and Andrea Dow, welcomes all who know how to read music and have an interest in playing handbells. The choir offers a unique opportunity for both experienced and novice ringers to perform together. The Bell Choir rehearses every Monday night and performs once a month in worship. The Bell Choir is open to all high school, college, and adult members and friends of the church.

Our Organ

Our beautiful tracker pipe organ was built in 1888 by J.H. and C.S. Odell for the Holy Cross Academy in Manhattan. When that building was torn down, the organ was removed and stored; Acton Congregational Church purchased the organ in 1977. In 1986 Andover Organ Company remodeled and expanded the case to house three new pedal ranks. In 1999 the pipes were stenciled to match the Victorian case. We at Acton Congregational Church love the sound of this organ and agree with Mozart, who called the organ “the King of Instruments!”
