All
adults (high school on up) are welcome to become a part of our Chancel Choir.
No auditions or previous choral experience are necessary. The Choir meets
for rehearsal on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m.
in the church sanctuary.
We sing nearly every week in our Sunday Worship service, and offer Spring and Christmas concerts each year. The Spring concerts have included faith-based major works; contemporary, gospel and spiritual arrangements; and secular music including jazz, pop, and rock ‘n roll styles.
Our Choir has a proud history of performing and accomplishments:
- Enjoying
accompaniment ranging from chamber orchestras to jazz combos; outstanding
pianists.
- Commissioning
in 2015 the special composition of an anthem commemorating the 40th
anniversary of John Carpenter as our Director.
- Inviting the anthem composer, Brad Ellingboe, to direct a huge reunion choir at the anniversary celebration.
- Accepting
an invitation from Ellingboe to join him and choristers from around the country
to perform Morten Lauridsen’s “Lux Aeterna” at Carnegie Hall in 2016.
- In
addition, the Choir has performed in community events, inter-denominational
church services, and choral festivals.
- Not
only is singing in our Choir therapeutic for the singer, but the delivery of
powerful messages through music is a joy and provides for spiritual growth. Being
part of our Choir is fun, and educational. We are a wonderful support group for
our members and church family. Come and join us.
