Children’s Choirs

Seen as a gift from God, music is one of many natural expressions that children learn to use to respond to the One who created them. Choir time, then, is a time and a place where boys and girls can experience God through music. Our Graded Choir Program serves as a tool for introducing the fundamentals of our Christian faith. Participation in a children’s choir also gives your child an opportunity to develop his/her God given gifts and will insure that music becomes a lifetime friend.

Our Children’s Choir leaders are volunteer leaders who take their tasks very seriously and intentionally make plans to guarantee that music learning and spiritual development occurs.
