Looking Ahead to AdventLearn More
It is our prayer and desire to live out this Scripture in the worship life of our church.
Ephesians 5:19-20 encourages believers to, “Speak(ing) to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We believe offering music programs for our children and students is an important part of their faith foundation. Through these programs, they learn to sing using their voices to give God praise. Songs are thoughtfully chosen to help children and students hide God's word in their hearts.
Dr. Kely Hatley, director
The Chapel Choir is comprised of youth in grades 7-12. The choir prepares music for worship, and the youth lead in our services about three times a semester. Rehearsals are Sunday afternoons from 5-6 p.m. and follow the school calendar year from September through May. We seek to take a week-long choir tour every other year.
Wednesdays from 6:30-7 p.m. (these choirs meet during the academic calendar year)
PRESCHOOL CHOIRS 3'S: ROOM 269
Our preschool choir for children three years old meets in room 269 on the second floor. Children are introduced to motions and movement with music and they are encouraged to find their singing voice. Many are shy and this is a good way to help them gain confidence in singing together.
CHERUB CHOIR (PRESCHOOL 4'S AND 5'S): ROOM 232
Using differing instrumentation, our leaders capitalize on the work started in the three-year-old choir. A steady beat and having a good time while learning the music are emphasized. The ladies work hard to give the kids a stress-free environment with a lot of smiles and good encouragement.
MUSIC MAKERS (GRADES 1-3): ROOM 259
With the children entering grade school, the music level is raised and children are encouraged to hold music in their hands and to follow along with the words. Elementary music instruction skills are pointed out and taught while music learning is taught in a fun way. This choir sings periodically throughout the school year as it has pieces ready for worship leadership.
YOUNG MUSICIANS (GRADES 4-6): ROOM 247
The Young Musicians are working hard as their abilities have escalated in regard to their musical skills. This choir will sing several times each semester giving the children ample time to lead in a worship service. It models how to present music to the Lord in worship. A variety of musical styles is used by this group.
