Join our Music Ministry

The Choir

All are welcome, regardless of musical experience. Whether you’re looking for a fulfilling musical experience or just a chance to be a part of a wonderful community of people, joining choir could be the perfect fit! Have some conflicts? No worries, come when you can. If you are not sure whether or not you’d like to join, come to a rehearsal and see if choir is for you!

The Choir rehearses on Thursdays at 7 PM in the Parlor and Sunday mornings at 8:15 am in the Sanctuary. They sing Sunday mornings at the 9 AM worship service.
