Music Ministries

The Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir is open to all members from 7th grade through the mature years. The choir provides music at our 10:00 am Worship Service each Sunday morning. Rehearsals are on Wednesday nights from 8:00 to 9:30 pm in the Choir Room. Ability to read music is not required, just a love of praising God through music and a commitment to this ministry. The Chancel Choir also presents major choral works during the Advent and Lent seasons.

Angel Choir – Kindergarten and 1st grade

For kids 5 years old through 1st grade. No musical experience necessary. Rehearsals are from 7:00 to 7:25 pm on Wednesdays in the Choir Room. Kids will learn songs mainly by memory, but will also be introduced to some basic concepts of music while having a great time.

The Angel Choir provides music about once a month at the 10:00 am Worship Service, and sometimes combines with the Lightshiner Choir for special events. All children are encouraged to participate!

Lightshiner Choir – Grades 2 through 5

Choir members are taught to read choral music for their own enjoyment and for becoming effective music ministers. Rehearsals are from 7:15 to 7:55 pm on Wednesdays in the Choir Room.

Youth Choir – 6th to 12th grades

The youth choir is open to 6th to 12th grades. Rehearsals start at 5:00 pm on Sundays in the Choir Room.

The Covenant Instrumental Ensemble

The Covenant Instrumental Ensemble participates in our Worship Services three or four times during the school year. Instrumentalists provide accompaniment for the hymn singing and also perform religious works. Although most of the musicians are youth, all ages may participate.

Other Opportunities

Our 8:30 am Communion Service provides opportunities for soloists, small ensembles, and instrumentalists to provide music of a more contemporary nature.
