Choir Practice:

Choir practice is held on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm. Those wishing to join our church choir should meet with our choir director, Michael Unger on that evening. The choir is always looking for new members who love to sing. Our choir is small but its members are dedicated to providing choral expertise to sing the praises of God.

We have a ten member handbell choir that plays in the service once a month. Michael Unger directs the bell choir and rehearsals are usually held after the Sunday morning worship service for about an hour. The worship experience is enhanced through our music program.
