The music program at the Santa Anita Church weaves an eclectic mix of rock, pop, gospel, and Broadway together with classical hymns and contemporary spiritual music in a high energy setting. Led by music director Rev. Gina Milligan, the program focuses on spreading the light of God through music of all genres. Instrumental improvisation by the band is coupled with solo, ensemble, and choral pieces by the choir, Joyful Noise, to fill each service with music from the opening meditation to the closing benediction.

- How to be Love
Even when it appears that love is absent from all around you, you can choose to be the Love. This month Rev. Gina Milligan will explore a variety of ways to be the Love in every situation. Change your life; change the world! December 22 – How to BE LoveThere is no question for which love is not the answer. No problem for which love is not the solution. No cause for which love is not the means. When we know this, fundamentally, we’re open to hear and see our angel-moments. December 29 – Love Is…We have been trained to live from a place where we play silly games to keep others’ opinions of us high. In doing so, we become so busy in living for the acceptance of others, that we forget to live for ourselves. Put another way, we are in a constant state of calling out for love. But when we are calling out, we cannot truly, deeply BE the love that this world so desperately needs us to be. January 5 – Much LoveThe Burning Bowl concept is reintroduced as a reminder of how to release our disharmony so we can fully express our love. Continuing a look into how to be Love, Rev. Gina creatively uses her body as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of all that is and tells a beautiful story from the Kuan Yin Chronicles. January 12 – Love Much?Following the catastrophic week of heavy wind and fire devastating the Los Angeles area, Rev. Gina harkens back to recent sermons on living in the Now and slaying our fear dragons with a reminder that Love can conquer the fear and anger that many in the region may have.
