The St. Giles Concert Series exists from a conviction that we are called to be stewards of beauty through music and the arts. We are passionate about creating space that allows for the gift of the arts to be fully displayed in a way that draws our hearts and minds towards the beauty of God. In experiencing beauty together, our hope is that we will see our communities come together in a way that enables growth and transformation.
