"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.  Worship the Lord with gladness; 

come before him with joyful songs.  Know that the Lord is God." 


Chancel Choir

Our Chancel Choir includes vocalists and instrumentalists that age from high schoolers to senior citizens. Choir rehearsal is held Wednesdays at 6 pm.   Worship is at 10:00 am on Sundays. Participation gives each member the opportunity to minister to the hearts of those listening.  


Choir members do not have to know how to read music. All are welcome!


If you would like to learn more about participating in our choir, please contact Joy Mehrtens
