Children & Youth: 2025-2026 School Year
Through our children's and youth choir ministries, we seek to shape our children's spiritual lives as an extension of Christian education. Weekly rehearsals include a time for creative development of a theme, verse or song. We learn the meaning of worship elements and study hymns, symbols and seasons, scripture, and the art of creating music.
Registration is required for all youth and children participating in music groups.
