An annual Apostolic Faith midsummer concert is given in the month of July, during the two-week camp meeting convention. Music lovers in the Portland area anticipate this event, which is always well-attended. Interspersed with selections presented by the full orchestra, choir, and organ are renditions by smaller ensembles and instrumental and vocal soloists. At times, members of the regular choir, the young people’s choir, and musicians and singers from branch churches perform together, accompanied by the orchestra and pipe organ. The Spirit of God has used these anthems of praise offered from consecrated hearts, and souls have been led to Christ as a result of attending the concerts.

A midwinter concert is presented during the Christmas season. In addition, concerts featuring individual musicians, occasional youth concerts, and informal nights of music are a part of the musical events presented each year. During December, Apostolic Faith musicians travel many miles, presenting the account of Christ’s birth in music and song to residents of rest homes, correctional institutions, and retirement centers. The staff and guests of these facilities eagerly anticipate these annual musical presentations.
