God loves to hear you sing....and we invite you to come and join a
fellowship that can make a difference in your Christian growth with God's
grace and blessing. There's many opportunities for young and old to serve
Jesus Christ through song with solo, duet, trio, quartet, and choral
participation as well.
Here are descriptions of our music groups:
-
Cherub Choir- Three through Five Years of Age
These singing sprouts have energy to burn and share that in their lively
tunes. They join in “Call to Worship” presentations during the Church Year
with their cherub grins from ear to ear. At Christmas and Easter they
perform special anthems, as well, tuned to their level of understanding.
At times they add a little spiritual choreography to their songs.
We constantly remind all of the youth and adult choruses the importance
of feeling the Spirit of Jesus in their hearts while joining in the
anthems, so that the listeners can feel it as well. What better group to
begin that journey of knowing that it’ s all a part of giving those gifts
and talents back to God, than these Cherubs.
-
Alpha Spirit Choir-Kindergarten through Second Grade
The Alpha Spirits are far from beginners as their name indicates, but they
are the starters in sharing more versed music. They are able to join in on
many of the Holy Spirit numbers and learn, in depth , the meaning of God
giving the Song to us. They are involved in many of the offertory special
music portions of the services throughout the year as well as prayer music
responses. These youngsters provide amazing medleys for Christmas and Easter.
There is an awakening sound in their voices and the excitement of encountering each
new anthem as a spiritual journey.
-
Holy Spirit Choir-Third Grade through Seventh Grades
Our seasoned junior choristers travel through some harmony on their music
adventures with Jesus. They mix solos with choral variations and they make
the listeners want to sing along. They add some southern gospel melodies in
their selections and frequently share some contemporary worship pieces.
They spread their wings in keeping the old hymns in their repertoire.
They learn about the history and power of these sacred hymns in winning
souls to Jesus. They supply special anthems all through the church calendar
year. The Holy Spirits also take their place in lifting their voices with
the Adult Choir during the Christmas and Easter Celebrations.
-
Daughters of Grace-Eighth Grade through Twelfth Grades
These young women exemplify their Christianity through their wide variety of
anthems. With their busy teenage challenges, the music gives them wings to
dream and insight to see beyond the now, and a way to cope with knotty old
problems by laying them at the feet of Jesus. They make their connection
with God personal and their spiritual melodies, whether old or new, add
dimension to any part of the worship services throughout the church year.
They join forces with the Adult Choir for Christmas and Easter programs.
-
