Come be a part of one of the fastest growing Youth Choir programs in the country.  We will spend lots of time getting to know each other, so making new friends is easy!  We learn music that challenges us musically and spiritually as we become caring community in Christ. As a part of the Inspiration Singers, you will learn correct vocal technique that will make you a better singer both at church and at school - even if you have never sung before.  We sing regularly in worship, go on retreats, sing outside of Resurrection and tour every June

We are musicians (and non-musicians who are learning a lot) who love to sing together, eat together, travel together and strengthen our relationship with God and with each other through music, fellowship and service.

We have youth from all over the area (church membership at Resurrection is not a requirement) who come together for rehearsal every week. We work hard on our music and work hard becoming a place where you can grow your faith by learning to use the gifts that God has given each one of us. Whether you are an accomplished soloist, a member of your school choir or if you just love to sing, there is a place for you at Resurrection. We want you to join us this year! (See the sign up form...)

Activities for Church of the Resurrection Inspiration Singers (CORis)  include:

• Retreats - a fun way to learn new music!
• Singing at various community events
• Christmas at Resurrection Performances
• Awesome Outreach Mission Trip in early summer

We encourage everyone to always be at rehearsal. We do so much, we would really hate for you to miss out on anything! But, we do realize that life is not always so simple. So – if you know you are going to be gone we ask that you sign out at rehearsal the previous week or e-mail Joyce.  85% Attendance is required to go on the Summer Outreach Mission Trip.

CORis Summer Outreach Mission Trip

Every June, CORis  spends 8 days in Outreach ministry, touring a different part of the country.  In the past few years we have travelled to San Diego, New York City, Nashville, San Antonio, Houston, Santa Fe & Denver. 

We share music and ministry in awesome places like churches, homeless shelters, retirement centers and veteran’s hospitals and maximum security youth prisons.  This is a life changing time as we experience the power of God through music.

Tour 2012 will be the first week of June.  To be eligible to participate, singers coming on tour are required to have 85% attendance at rehearsals and worship leadership.  Our tour destination for 2012 will be announced soon.
