CHANCEL CHOIR

The Chancel Choir supports the life and ministry of the church through the pursuit of choral excellence. More than just a musical ensemble, the choir is a community where members grow spiritually as they offer their voices in service to God. Each rehearsal provides an opportunity to engage both heart and mind in preparation for leading the congregation in song and praise. The choir sings in Sunday services about once a month and participates in special gatherings throughout the year, including Christmas Eve and Good Friday. Rehearsals are held on Thursdays at 7:15 p.m. from September through May, and all are warmly invited to join.

Oh sing to the Lord a new song;


sing to the Lord, all the earth!


Sing to the Lord, bless his name;


tell of his salvation from day to day.

Psalm 96:1-2

WESTMINSTER HANDBELL CHOIR

The Westminster Handbell Choir serves the Lord with joy and dedication through the art of English handbell ringing. The ensemble shares its music in Sunday services about once a month and takes part in the annual Kokomo Handbell Festival the first weekend in March. Rehearsals are held on Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. from September through May.

Praise him with tambourine and dance;


praise him with strings and pipe!


Praise him with sounding cymbals;


praise him with loud clashing cymbals!


Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Psalm 150:4-6

PRAISE TEAM

The Praise Team is a musical group dedicated to leading the congregation in song during Sunday morning services. Along with musical preparation, rehearsals provide a time for reflection on corporate worship and the specific scripture passage for Sunday morning’s service. The team includes singers and instrumentalists playing guitar, piano, percussion, and other instruments. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome to join us in lifting our hearts and voices together to glorify the Lord through music.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,


teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom,


singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,


with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Colossians 3:16

TECH TEAM
