The church was CSC's first
home base for sacred performances. Lawrence Speakman served as music minister at the church from 1989 to 1997.
In addition to small ensemble rehearsals and meetings, the facility hosted five concerts including the first year's
Christmas concert (December 1991), the 1992 Christmas concert, Christmas Around the World (1994), Christmas
in Cary (1995), and the American Boychoir Tour in February 1996.
We were scheduled to use the facility for a December 2002 performance of Feliz Navidad! but this was cancelled due to
the ice storm that hit three days earlier.
