Music at Christ the King Episcopal Church
Music at Christ the King Episcopal Church is central to our worship, liturgy, and congregational life. Through hymns, songs of praise, and choral anthems, music helps open our hearts to God and to one another in ways that words alone cannot.
We design participatory services as a vital part of our liturgy. Through the unique spiritual power of congregational singing, we strive to build a strong community within the church membership and to reach out to our local friends and neighbors. Our small but spirited choir helps lead this musical offering each week.
For us, music is more than performance — it’s how we build community, deepen faith, and celebrate the beauty of God’s presence among us. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to get involved and connect with others through music, we invite you to bring your willing heart and love of singing to join us. There is a place for you here at Christ the King!

8:00am Rite I Music (Sunday Morning Music)
The music at our 8:00am, Holy Eucharist, Rite I service on Sunday mornings is quiet and contemplative. Scott Gilmore plays a vast array of classic Christian hymns on a classical guitar. Whether it is through the prelude music prior to the worship service, a piece that follows the sermon, or a piece during communion, Scott Gilmore's gentle, faithful, spirit combined with his acumen on the guitar make for a deeply holy, worshipful experience.
Scott Gilmore is a Classical Guitarist who has been contributing to the music ministry at Christ The King since 2014. He also teaches Guitar , Ukulele and Piano at Studio 237 here in Santa Rosa Beach.
In July 2006 Scott took the position of Head Tennis Professional at Watercolor Resort. That same month Scott started performing his guitar music in public for the first time ....he was nearly 50 years old.
Encouraged by the response , Scott began playing regularly throughout the Emerald Coast.
In 2010, after a wedding officiated by Pastor Dave Hope (Kansas Bassist), The Lord invited Scott to perform at Immanuel Anglican Church, then three years later here at Christ The King.
"I am Humbled, Honored and so very Grateful to share the Lord's Music in our wondrous Church in the Wildwoods!" If the idea of a more Contemplative Service with Soothing Classical Guitar appeals to you, please come Worship with us at Christ the King at 8 o'clock on Sundays.
