What is Worship?
Worship is a dialogue between God and His people. Our goals are to create an atmosphere of worship that embraces both believers and non-believers, to create exemplary worship that allows complete and free-flowing communion between worshipers and God, and to utilize and grow the gifts and talents of the Spirit among worshipers.
*For our musical worship, we invite musicians of all experience and skill levels to join us. To find out how to join a group, please contact the musical director for that group.
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir sings weekly on Sundays during Traditional Worship at 10:45 a.m. from September to May. The choir also prepares for a combined music ministry Christmas Concert in December as well as an annual Palm Sunday Concert, featuring choral/orchestral masterpieces. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings (September through May) from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm. Choir is open to ANYONE who has ever wanted to sing- all ages are encouraged! Prior choral experience is very helpful, but the only requirement is the desire to make a joyful noise to the Lord as we lead His people in worship. New members are always welcome at any point during the season. Please check in to see how you may use your voice to the glory of God.
***This year, summer choir will be held on Sundays, the first 3 weeks of both July and August. All you need to do is come to the choir room at 10 am to learn an easy anthem. No prior musical experience is necessary and we accept all ages. Come and make a joyful noise unto the Lord!!
