Music and Drama Ministry

Grace Church offers a variety of opportunities for ministry through the gift of music and drama. We welcome persons of all ages and abilities to join us in filling God's house with praise every week! There is something for everyone; more than one hundred people currently serve in one or more of our ministries, and we are growing. There's always room for more!

 

Traditional Music

Chancel Choir, which includes youth and adults, provides worship leadership weekly at the 8:30 a.m. Sunday service. The Chancel Choir also presents special seasonal productions during the Advent and Lenten seasons. These singers also enjoy hymn sings with the seniors in our community.Rehearsals are held Thursday evening, 7:30 - 8:45 p.m. in the Choir Room from late August through May.

During the summer, anyone aged 9 to 99 is welcome to come to the Choir Room on Sundays at 8 a.m. to briefly rehearse music for that morning's worship service. Together, we will lead the congregation as we praise God with familiar hymns and praise choruses.

Girls of Grace is a singing ensemble for girls in grades 6 through 12. The group does not meet on a weekly basis...rather when there is a special need or a special song that God reveals. If you are currently involved in your school choral program, or you just like to sing in the shower, please know that you are welcome and encouraged to join us. Notification of an upcoming event will be communicated by e-mail.
