ADULT CHOIRS

We have three Worship Choirs, all volunteers, and welcoming new members at all times. No musical knowledge necessary, just a love for fellowship, sacred music and The Lord.

from 6:00 - 7:00 P.M.

Chancel Choir

HOSANNA BRASS

Hosanna Brass is a volunteer brass ensemble that performs a variety of classical music, hymns, jazz, Dixieland, and light gospel music on the 3rd Sunday of every month and for special services. They also take our ministry to area churches to enhance their worship services, and perform mini-concerts which include secular music. Membership is open to all instrumentalists, regardless of ability. This is an audition-only group that rehearses on Friday nights. For more information,
you can access their web site at

or contact Bob Williams (Director) at the church office.

Church Orchestra
From time to time throughout the year we use more than just brass and bells to accompany our choirs and congregation. At those special times, we form a church orchestra. All orchestra instruments are needed and we open these positions to anyone willing to participate, providing they have an instrument and knowledge thereof.

CROSS FIRE
CROSSFIRE is an established praise band that leads the Alternative Worship Service every Sunday in the gym at 11:00 am. The 7-member band plays contemporary worship music in a more relaxed setting. For more information, contact Karen Smith at the church.
