Music Ministries

Adult Choir 

The Adult Choir is a group of people who enjoys traditional sacred choral music, loves to sing together, and is committed to leading worship at our Sunday morning traditional services. Whether it is a well-known choral anthem, a spirited African-American spiritual, a psalm or portion of the liturgy, or even a beautiful contemporary praise song, The Adult Choir sings with excitement and joy! Under the leadership of Pastor Mark Hellmann, the Adult Choir is experiencing new vision, passion, growth and a spiritual revitalization as it begins this year of ministry.

 

The Adult Choir is open to anyone in high school and above. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings at 6:45 p.m. and last until 8:15 p.m. On Sunday the Adult Choir meets at 8:00 a.m. for warm-ups and sings at the conclusion of the 8 a.m. traditional service as well as the 9:00 blended service.

 

It is not necessary that you have taken formal singing lessons or been a part of a choir...anyone can sing with us. All you need is a heart to sing praises in worship, a desire to sing and connect with other singers, a willingness to serve, and a love for sacred music.
