Children in grades 1-5 are invited to be a part of our children’s choir program.

Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 6:30 pm in Room in the Education Building.

No registration required.  Just come! 

Children’s Choirs give children the opportunity to be a part of team, much like soccer, baseball and football.  They are a team with the bonus of learning about their faith and sharing that good news with those who listen.  Your children learn to be worship leaders!

Bring your children!  Allow them to be creative, learn music skills and be a part of a team!’

Children are invited to be a part of a massed choir on August 16.  Rehearsals are Wednesday 5 and 12 at 7:00 pm!
