Christ Church is known for having a vibrant and joyful music ministry. The purpose of this ministry is to glorify God through music and to transform lives through worship. Choir and ensemble members often say their participation in music ministry is one of the most fulfilling parts of their church lives. There are several choirs and instrumental ensembles for people of all ages that rehearse weekly, perform regularly in worship, and offer their gifts during special worship concerts.
All ages invited to sing with choirs on Christmas Eve

The Adult Choir sings regularly during worship and practices each each Thursday, fall through spring, from 7:30 PM - 9:15 PM. Join the choir to improve your vocal ability, deepen your musical understanding, offer praise to God, and be a part of a supportive and loving small group! Find the Adult Choir group in Realm or reach out to Laura McNally if you are interested in joining the adult choir.
Several times a year, we invite any interested teens and adults to join the "pick up" choir on a short-term basis for special services/season. During the summer, we invite "pick up" members to sing with us any Sunday they are able -- just pick up music the week before, join us for a quick rehearsal on Sunday mornings, and join us to sing during Sunday worship. On Easter and Christmas Eve, we expand our choir and invite folks to start attending rehearsals several weeks before the holiday. Contact Laura McNally, music administrator, for more information.
The Youth Choir includes fun, singing, and fellowship for 6th-12th graders. These young people learn much about music and perfomance while growing deeper in their faith and in relationship with their peers. This choir rehearses on Sundays, fall through spring, from 3:45 – 5:00 PM. Reach out to Laura McNally if your teen is interested in joining the choir.
The Children's Choirs sing occasionally in worship and practice on a cycle rotation. There are several cycles throughout the academic year. Children will meet on Wednesday at 6:30 PM evenings for each cycle as they are able. Each cycle last several weeks and culminates in a final performance during worship. All children are welcome to participate as they are available and friends are always welcome! Reach out to Laura McNally if your child is interested in joining the choir.
If you play an instrument well and would like to play during worship, we would love to have you share your gifts! The instrumental ensembles that participate in worship are open to new members at any time during the year. Reach out to Laura McNally for more.
