Children's Choirs

QUICK LINKS: Registration Form Ministry Philosophy Objectives About the Music Hour

The goal of the children's choir program at First Pres is to give children the opportunity to worship, grow, and serve through music. The choir program begins September 4 and runs through May, but children can join their age-appropriate choir during the year, space permitting. Children's choirs are featured at the Hanging of the Greens concert on December 4, and in worship services throughout the year. 

This year, all Children's Choir rehearsals start at 11:20 am. Following each rehearsal is an optional group sing, Children's Praise, which takes place in Room M201, McKinley Hall, and concludes at 12:30 pm. For more information, click here.
