Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir typically leads weekly in worship for the 11:00 am traditional service. The choir is a non-auditioned group of singers who meet on Wednesday evenings to rehearse music for worship, seasonal offerings, and special concerts. With music ranging from classic choral masterworks, to spirituals, to the music of 21st century composers, the Chancel Choir seeks to provide excellence in worship through creative and meaningful experiences.

You will find the choir to be a welcoming, friendly, and diverse group of singers with varied musical levels. While some singers are professional musicians, there are many who enjoy singing as a hobby and enjoy joining with others in singing praise to God! There are no requirements or audition necessary. Just attend our weekly rehearsals on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 in the Choral Suite. We would be honored to welcome you!

Young Adult Ensemble

The Young Adult Ensemble is a group of singers from the Chancel Choir and the Arborlawn community. They rehearse twice a month and lead regularly in worship. Because of the smaller chamber-like size of this ensemble, the Young Adult Ensemble is able to sing repertoire that is not always feasible with the larger Chancel Choir. Join us in making music and community!

When: 1st and 3rd Wednesdays | 6:00 pm | Sept. to May
Where: Choral Suite
Age Group: Young Adults (High School - Mid- 30s)
