Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord...
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir is a mixed adult choral ensemble that provides music regularly for the 10:30 AM service. The Chancel Choir rehearses on Wednesday nights at 7pm in the Sanctuary. Covering a wide spectrum of challenging musical repertoire, their selections include contemporary choral music settings, traditional hymn favorites, gospel music and choral pieces with an ethnic flavor. This ensemble, accompanied by instrumentalists and narrators, also leads the congregation in worship for special services during the church year, presenting inspirational cantatas during Holy Week and the Christmas season.
Joyful Noise Ringers
This is a special group or ensemble that meets on Wednesday nights at 6pm in the Sanctuary. From the bass clef bell to the treble clef bell, each bell makes a beautiful sound. If you are interested in joining this special bell ensemble, please contact Dr. Gary Wayne Pyland.
Instrumentalists
Instrumentalists of a wide range of age and experience are welcome to perform solos or play in an ensemble during the worship service and for other events at the church. Both amateur and professional and non-professional instrumentalists accompany the Chancel Choir in anthems or special presentations. Please contact us if you are interested in offering your time and talent to this special ministry.
Children & Youth Choir
The Choristers is a music ensemble for students in grades K – 5. Singing develops many skills including self-confidence, critical listening, teamwork, breath control, artistic expression, and a strong foundation of music fundamentals which can be applied to any instrument. Most importantly, Choristers will learn and develop personal connections to the songs that express the heart of our faith. This group meets every Wednesday night from 6:00pm – 6:30pm in the sanctuary. Auditions are not necessary; all are welcome! (Holiday or other exceptions will be noted on the church calendar)
We will share our musical gifts with the congregation as often as possible.
CrossFire Choir
The CrossFire Choir is a music ensemble for students in grades 6-12.

Most importantly, youth will learn and develop personal connections to the songs that express the heart of our faith.
