Music Opportunities

Our PK-4 general music and choir programs are designed to teach students to appreciate and read music, to expose them to different kinds of music, and to use their musical talents to praise God during Sunday worship services and in our community. In addition, middle school students may chose to participate in our vocal and/or handbell choirs, or continue with a general music class.  As a part of WSMA, students in grades 6-8 have an opportunity to display their talents at music competitions, where students are judged on individual and/or group performances.  Students also take part in an all school musical every other year. Participation in band is optional.

  • Bell Choirs

    Open to grades 5-8. Alleluia Bells is our beginning level choir, Jubilate Bells is our advanced level choir. Both groups work on note reading, rhythm accuracy, and musicianship. These groups play during Sunday worship services throughout the school year.

  • Singing Choirs

    We have 3 levels of choirs. Cherub choir is our K-2 students, Hallelujah Choir is grades 3-4, and Gabriel's Choir is our middle school audition choir.  All groups work on pitch and rhythm accuracy, as well as style and musicianship. All groups participate in worship services throughout the year, as well as sing out in the community.
