Music
There’s a place for all of God’s gifts and abilities.
The Chancel Choir
The primary musical leadership responsibility for the Chancel (adult) choir is the 11:00 worship service. It also provides leadership for seasonal services throughout the year and presents several services accompanied by orchestra or jazz band. The choir sings a broad range of repertoire from gospel to classical.
The Youth Choir
The youth choir is comprised of singers in grades 7-12, who rehearse from August to May. The choir provides musical leadership primarily at the 8:45 Worship Service several Sundays each month. It presents special programs at Christmas and in the spring and tours annually each year at the conclusion of the school year.
Children's Choirs
Offered for children age 3 through grade 6 from September through April. Children are taught basic musical concepts, play a variety of instruments, learn about the church and its historical tradition of music and worship, sing regularly in worship and present special programs at Christmas and in the spring.
