Music is an integral part of worship at Grace Presbyterian Church. Congregational singing is worship, and the purpose of our music ministry is to support the congregation in worship. Music has the power to unite our hearts in praise to God. The various choirs at Grace offer the opportunity to fellowship together, making music for the purpose of leading the congregation in worship, while growing in faith and having fun!
If singing or ringing bells is your thing join us for an exciting season of singing and ringing for all ages. Contact Valerie Clayton ([email protected]) for more information or just come to a rehearsal of one of the choirs listed below.
