Youth & Children

 

MUSIC GROUPS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

The scriptures admonish the faithful to "Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray" (Proverbs 22:6) Group involvement in choirs helps participants become involved in worship as well as learning special music. The choirs listed below often include Bible stories and arts & craft-type activities with their weekly music rehearsals from September through May. Child care is available for younger children and Bible Study classes are available for adults during the children's choir rehearsals.
