Choirs

Ours is a singing faith! We offer worship to God, teach and encourage each other, and proclaim Biblical truths to the world through the ministry of music.

The ultimate aim of our music program is to honor and glorify God. It is our sincere hope that many of our members of all ages will be committed to participate in this ministry, either by singing or playing instruments in one of the choirs, or by volunteering to help with the on-going program of music in our church. We have a variety of groups, which use the skills of trained musicians and those who are just beginning.
