Chancel Choir Fall Concert 2025: The Five Solas, featuring Vivaldi's Gloria

Join the Chancel Choir as they sing The Five Solas in concert in the sanctuary!

The Five Solas are five Latin phrases that emerged during the Protestant Reformation to summarize the reformers’ theological convictions about the essentials of Christianity and our salvation;

  • Sola Scriptura – Scripture alone
  • Sola Fide – by Faith alone
  • Sola Gratia – by Grace alone
  • Solus Christus – through Christ alone
  • Soli Deo Gloria – to the Glory of God alone

The first four Solas will be illustrated by a selection of choral anthems, accompanied by noted local pianist, Cathy Venable. Then the choir will lift their voices "Soli Deo Gloria," with Gloria, by Antonio Vivaldi, accompanied by a professional orchestra.

A reception will follow in the Miller Atrium.
