The Senior Choir rehearses every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This choir consists of members who have a variety of musical skills. Some are trained musicians and some do not read music at all. We come together to enhance the worship service and to lift our voices to praise God. We sing every Sunday alternating between the 8:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services.

The Hand Bell Choir consists of adults who have a variety of musical skills. Being able to read music is helpful, but not necessary. Basic techniques of hand bell ringing and note reading is taught, and the choir rings occasionally on Sundays throughout the church year. Presently they rehearse every Thursday morning from 11:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. with the option of going “out” for lunch for more fellowship.

The Children’s Choir consists of children from grades 1 through 5, and presently rehearses on Wednesday’s from 3:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. in six week sessions. We sing two Sundays during each session. Children learn good choral technique through musical games and activities. To enhance their singing they will also learn how to play a variety of instruments including hand chimes. Children will also be taught the church lectionary and how each season personally relates to their spiritual life, the life of the church and the community.
