At Saint Paul’s Anglican Church, the sound of worship is more than just music—it’s the heartbeat of our gathered life, a beautiful offering of reverence, joy, and continuity. And at the center of that rhythm is our beloved music director and lead pianist, Sarah Macias.
Since 2019, Sarah has faithfully led the music of our weekly services with both skill and soul. Whether it’s the timeless strains of the Te Deum, the jubilant swell of a processional hymn, or the quiet chords beneath a psalm, Sarah brings depth, beauty, and consistency to our liturgy. Her musical leadership is marked not only by excellence, but also by sacrifice—she has led services while pregnant, with a newborn in arms, and sometimes even with a baby strapped across her chest at the piano bench.
But Sarah’s ministry doesn’t stop at the altar rail. As a mother of four and the lead Kindergarten teacher at Canterbury School, she lives out a vocation of formation in every sphere of life. In the classroom, she’s an expert in phonics instruction and early childhood reading, helping our youngest students grow not only in knowledge, but in virtue and wonder. Her classroom is a place where joyful discipline, clear instruction, and Christian love meet in every lesson.
Sarah is a living example of what it means to serve with both heart and hands—to lead worship, teach children, and love her family all in the same breath. She embodies what Saint Paul’s seeks to cultivate in all our ministries: faith rooted in tradition, lived out with love, and joyfully offered to God.
We thank God for Sarah and all the ways her gifts bless our church and school. Next time you hear the music rise at Saint Paul’s, know that behind it is a life of quiet faithfulness and radiant service.
Here are a few videos of her music:
