What is the overall purpose of this Group?

The purpose of the Chancel Choir is to enhance the worship service and experience so that the message for the day is reinforced and made more powerful through music. Working together through music preparation and presentation, choir members experience a deeper, more meaningful communion with God and one another.

In what activities is the Chancel Choir involved?

Chancel Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. The Chancel Choir sings for Sunday services at 10:00 am from September to mid-June. The Chancel Choir provides music for other special services throughout the year, i.e., Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, Easter, and others. The group may also present other special events such as concerts and the Maundy Thursday Cantata.

How can I get involved, and how much time can I expect to spend?

Let's try each other out. Come to a rehearsal and sing along with this excellent choir. If you don't know what part you sing (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass), we will help you figure it out. Prospective members must be able to match pitch and rhythm. Experience singing in school choir(s) and/or other church choir(s) and the ability to read music is a plus, but not required. Members may learn to read music by attending the Musical ED classes, and through experience participating in Chancel Choir. The general time commitment is two hours on Thursday evening and about two hours on Sunday morning. Extra time is requested for special events (as listed above).

Who do I contact to Join or get more information?

Contact Michael Gibson, Director of Music Ministry, at (408) 356-6156 ext. 22 or for information and to schedule a "try us out" session with the choir. Complete information, including Sunday Music Schedule and rehearsal schedule is available here on our website.
