Children’s Choirs
The Children’s Choirs at Church of the Resurrection allow children to:
- Learn to worship God through the power of music
- Use their gifts for the ministry of the church
- To experience the joy of creatively communicating the gospel of Christ
We rehearse during the school year, and we sing periodically in worship and for special events. Once each semester, the Children's Choirs combine to present a musical. All rehearsals take place in the West Building.
Angel Choir
The Angel choir is for children who have turned 4 by September 1. Due to the nature of the choir environment, we feel it is in the best interest of the kids to limit this choir to 35 kids. Pre-registration is required and priority will be given to those with older siblings also in choir. Julie Bickel will lead this group. They will rehearse weekly and sing with the other children’s choirs during our Christmas Musical, Christmas at Resurrection and the Christmas Eve Services during the fall semester.
Sonshine Choir
For our 5-6 year olds that are currently in Kindergarten. They will rehearse weekly and sing with the other children’s choirs during our Christmas Musical, Christmas at Resurrection and the Christmas Eve Services during the fall semester. During the spring semester, they will also have to opportunity to sing in worship. Susan Arends will lead this group.
Joyful Noise
For children currently in 1st or 2nd grade. They will rehearse weekly and sing with the other children’s choirs during our Christmas Musical, Christmas at Resurrection and the Christmas Eve Services during the fall semester as well as in worship. Lin Sanford leads this group.
Celebration Choir
For children currently in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade. They will rehearse weekly and sing with the other children’s choirs during our Christmas Musical, Christmas at Resurrection and the Christmas Eve Services during the fall semester as well as in worship. Those in 4th and 5th grade will have the opportunity to audition for speaking parts or solos in our musical. Jenny Nehrbass leads this group.
Cantate Choir
An auditioned choir for our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. We will hold Auditions in early September and limit the group to around 20 singers and these singers are highly encourage to also be a part of our regular Celebration Choir. Cantate will rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 5:15-6pm. (right before Zone or Wild One’s) The purpose of this group is to sing more challenging music, received more in depth vocal training, sing in venues outside the church and provide music monthly for the 7:45am service.
