Music Ministry

Sanctuary Choir

Wednesdays, 7-8:30 p.m. | August–June

Choir Room | Nona Schwab, Director

The Sanctuary Choir is an all-volunteer group. Some have been faithful members for decades and others for only a few weeks. The choir is comprised of both trained musicians and enthusiastic amateurs. Music literacy is helpful, but not necessary. No audition is required. Interested singers are invited to come to rehearsals. We do encourage a strong commitment to rehearsal in order that the singer is prepared on Sunday morning and also for the building of community. Singers choose between the 9:30 or 11 worship service. Some singers do sing both services.

Youth Choir: New Zion

Beginning Sunday, August 14, 2022

Sundays, 3:20-4:30 p.m. | August–May

Choir Room | Nona Schwab, Director

This dedicated group of teenagers, grades 6-12, works together in ministry through music, mission work, and service. New Zion frequently leads worship on Sunday mornings. Outside of rehearsals and worship, this group gathers for Fun Nights and has a retreat each Fall. The choir takes a mission trip each July. The trip includes singing and other mission work. Past mission trips have included travels to Colorado, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona, Georgia and many other locations.

Sunday Sounds is a music experience for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. This ministry teaches children to lead and participate in worship through music. Our main goal is to encourage the children to offer their talent and gifts to God through service. Weekly rehearsals give children the opportunity to sing, move and play while being introduced to various types of music along with worship education while building lasting relationships with their peers, adult teachers, and helpers. Each choir participates in worship several times throughout the year. By participating in worship, our children not only share their gift of music with God and the congregation, but also experience being leaders in worship.
