The Children's Music Ministry provides an opportunity for the children in our congregation to build relationships with each other in a caring Christian community, singing and learning about our faith. The choirs and other various activities at the Church are both grade and age-appropriate. Biblical and theological concepts, along with vocal skills are actively taught, in an environment where each participant is valued for uniqueness in voice, personality, and musicianship.
Our ministry programming includes two. During the year, each choir regularly shares God’s presence through the gift of music during both Sunday worship services. Additional events are planned also during holidays and other church celebrations.
CHILDREN’S CHOIR for children in grades 1-6 meets in the choir room every Sunday. Through music, movement, games, and instruments, children learn basic musicianship and participate in worship and special programs. Music and faith are integral elements of this group.
CHILDREN’S HANDBELL PROGRAM for third through eighth graders challenges children and youth to use their musical skills to praise God and develop basic ringing techniques. They learn to ring bells and change ringing patterns. No music background is necessary to ring bells, but it helps.
MUSIC 'N MORE this program for children from two years to kindergarten, is for kids and their parents to come and Move and Groove with music and play time. This group will offer some of their music in worship from time to time.
WORSHIP ARTS is for Kindergarten through sixth grade. Though not strictly a music program, it uses scriptures from worship as a basis for creating art, thereby helping the students to connect with God’s Word. Some of the art may be used as Sanctuary decoration to help add visual pieces to the worship services.
CHILDREN'S CHOIR CAMP is held every year, usually during the first week in July. Refer to The Messenger for details as we get closer to the camp dates.
