Adult Choir
Welcome to the new and returning members of the Choir who have come to serve during the 2010-2011 ministry season. We are looking forward to serving and praising God together!
The choir is a vital instrument that God has touched to minister to the congregation of our church.
Our Role:
- To assist and lead the congregation in corporate worship through the singing of hymns, gospel songs, and choruses.
- To share anthems and seasonal music intended to inspire, to challenge, to encourage, and to reinforce our worship as believers in Jesus Christ.

Call and talk to Pastor Phil if that is your situation. You will need to be at Wednesday rehearsals beginning in October and at Saturday rehearsals so that you are prepared musically and get your singing voice in shape.
