Chancel Choir
Through the power of music as prayer, proclamation, and praise, the Chancel Choir is committed to declaring the Gospel, creating a Spirit-filled environment, calling all people to serve and glorify God, and celebrating God at work in our lives. The Chancel Choir leads the congregation in singing and provides special music for worship on three Sundays a month, from September through June. The choir enjoys a broad repertoire including classical, modern, hymn tunes, spirituals, and major works. They typically present a Christmas cantata during Advent and periodically provide a program during Lent or Holy Week.
