Music Ministry

Welcome to the Covenant Presbyterian Church Music Ministry.

Chancel Choir

Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00 P.M., Choir Room
The Chancel Choir is made up of adult singers from the congregation. While no audition is required for participation, prior music experience will prove helpful. Faithful participation is expected of each choir member. The Chancel Choir serves the congregation by leading hymns; through anthems presented each Sunday in worship; and in the presentation of various concerts throughout the year, including the annual Christmas at Covenant concert each December, choral masterworks, seasonal concerts, and hymn festivals.

Covenant Strings

Covenant Strings is a string ensemble comprised of members of the congregation. This ensemble practices and plays on an as-needed basis throughout the year. Covenant Strings currently plays as a string quartet but opportunities for more string players in a larger ensemble setting exist as well. Audition is required for participation.

Covenant Ringers

Mondays, 6:30-8:00 P.M., Handbell Room
Covenant Ringers is an adult handbell ensemble composed of both men and women. It is helpful, but not necessary to be able to read music. All that is needed is the ability to count, keep rhythm, and have a love for the music of the church. The ensemble plays in worship approximately six times a year.

Children’s Choirs

GRADED CHOIRS, 5:00-5:45 p.m.

Parents should pick up children promptly at 5:45 p.m.

CHOIR ROOMS:

Room 207, PreK-4 thru Kindergarten
Room 205, Grades 1-2
Room 225, Grades 3-5

Covenant children and their friends, ages 4 (by September 1) through 5th grade are invited to participate. The goal of each choir is to assist the children in the process of developing basic musical skills through singing, movement, and playing instruments as they offer their praise to God through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

Graded choirs participate in worship periodically throughout the fall and spring semesters, and present a service of Lessons and Carols the first Sunday evening of Advent.
