It is my belief that music is a gift to us from God, which allows us to know his presence in a truly unique way. Music touches our intellect, it touches our emotions and it touches our very spirit. This gift can give us hope when we feel hopeless. It can remind us of a loved one, a special moment or an important time in our lives.
Music is a very powerful tool that helps to connect us to God as we worship Him. I encourage you to seek out a place in our church family where you can share this gift with others. For some that may mean joining our adult choir. For children, that could mean being part of Christ Choir. Or maybe you would like to participate in the hand bell choir, JuBellation. It may be that your opportunity to share this gift is in the fellowship of singing hymns from your church pew, or clapping and singing along at a Seasons! service. We welcome your participation!

"Come, let us sing with joy to the Lord;
Let us shout aloud to the rock
of our salvation"
Psalm 95:1

7:30 Sunrise Choir - Guess when this group of singers meets! The 7:30 Sunrise Choir members lift their voices to God at our 8:00 Sunday morning services. They practice at 7:30 Sunday mornings in the Music Room, making this the perfect choice for those who aren't able to make an extra trip for an evening rehearsal during the week. No audition required! Contact Keith Robinson for more information, or just show up and sing... at 7:30!

Chancel Choir
- The Chancel Choir sings praises to God at our 10:30 Sunday morning services. This dedicated group of singers rehearses each Wednesday evening at 7:30 in the Music Room.

Come be a part of the Chancel Choir. Contact Keith Robinson for more information about the Chancel Choir.

Christ Choir - This choir is for 1st - 5th graders and is a great preparation for enjoying the Youth Choir in the 6th grade! Christ Choir sings songs, performs rhythms, plays rhythm instruments, creates songs, plays games, eats snacks, and worships God through his gift of music. Christ Choir is designed to be a first step into music for young children, and a means of connecting kids with their God in a meaningful musical way. Rehearsals take place most Sunday afternoons in the Music Room from 4:30pm – 6pm. Contact Keith Robinson for more information about the possibilities of Christ Choir.

Handbells - JuBellation, our handbell choir, rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:30pm This group contributes to morning worship services at different times throughout the year, and offers musical opportunities that are both satisfying and challenging. If you have some experience in music, Handbells could be just for you! Contact Mike McGrew for more information about how you can come and ring unto the Lord!

Children’s Music - Sunday School children from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade experience God through music as part of their morning Sunday School hour. 1st through 5th grade students start their hour with music at 9:15 AM. They learn traditional Sunday School songs, contemporary songs, and songs created just for them. For our 2 – 5 year olds, music begins at the end of their Sunday School hour at 9:55 AM. They, too, learn traditional Sunday School songs, as well as songs about the world they are growing into; learning about the days of the week, seasons, colors, their bodies, and their God. In December, our Sunday School children present the Christmas Pageant. Music is learned through November and December, and after a single Saturday morning rehearsal, something amazing and beautiful happens! The next day, Sunday morning, amazing and beautiful children retell the story of Christ’s birth during both the 8:00 and 10:30 AM services. Come see it & hear it for yourself!

Instrumental and Vocal Solos - Soloists are always welcome to share their talents in worship. If you have a talent and a desire to share it in any of our services, contact Keith Robinson or Katie Arnold for ideas about how you might be able to help contribute to our worship services.
