The Music Ministry offers a number of opportunities for involvement.  Our purposes are to exalt the Savior with our worship and to equip our members to better serve Him.  We are commanded to praise the Lord - "Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts." (Psalm 105:3 NIV)  We pray that you will be involved in one or more of the organizations open to you in the Music Ministry.

 

ADULT CHOIR
bar
For those ages 18 and up. This is our primary Sunday morning worship choir.  Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00pm in the Choir Room (downstairs below our Worship Center).

SENIOR ADULT CHOIR
bar
The Senior Adult Choir is for those of our community who love to sing and share a great time of fellowship and sharing the gift of music with others.  We rehearse on Monday mornings at 10:00am.  Rehearsals will be followed by a time of Bible study and lunch.

YOUTH ENSEMBLES
bar
We will meet Sundays in the Choir Room from 4:30-5:00pm.  We will prepare music for use in our services and for other special events.  Those with a desire to use their talents for God (Grades 7-12) are encouraged to join.

PRAISE TEAM
bar
The Praise Team is a group of adults chosen for their musical ability, their desire to be used by God, and their willingness to give that extra effort needed for an effective team who will give leadership to our worship services.  Rehearsals are after Adult Choir Rehearsal on Wednesday evenings.

SOLOS & ENSEMBLES
bar
These folks are seen sharing music in our services on a regular basis.  
Requirements:  Musically talented; able to "work up" music on their own; humble in spirit (seeking to glorify God and not self); and involved in our Music Ministry on a regular basis.  (There are exceptions to every rule, and the Music Minister will determine these.)  If interested, please contact the Music Minister.

INSTUMENTALISTS
bar
We will put together ensembles to play for services and to accompany our Adult Choir at certain times.  If you play an instrument and would like to use your talents to praise the Lord, please contact the music office.  We will inform you of opportunities and rehearsals.

CHILDREN'S CHOIRS
bar
We have choirs for children from age 4 through the 6th grade.  They meet on Sundays from 5:00 - 6:00 pm. These choirs teach musicianship, correct singing techniques, and help children to learn more about God through exciting music and fun activities.  The children's choirs are arranged as follows:
    - The Melody Makers (4 & 5 Year Olds)
    - The Music Makers (Grades 1-3)
    - The Young Musicians (Grades 4-6)

In Melody Makers children will experience music activities that will help them grow spiritually and give them a basic foundation concerning melody and rhythm.  In the three older choirs, children will have excellent training, enjoy great music and activities and have opportunities to take part in meaningful worship.  Spiritual growth is the goal, and quality expression is the vehicle we use to achieve it.
