With his vast experience in music, theatre, dance and drama, there is always something exciting happening in this choir! Parents and Grandparents are encouraged to help their children be part of this team where they will not only learn a lot about singing, but will also learn more about the church and the importance of offering their gifts for this ministry as well as the importance of being part of a team. Yes, a TEAM! Everyone is important in our choir and we offer the opportunity for each student to experience and show their leadership. The choir sings in the church once a month at the 10 am service.
