Our Mission

The mission of the children’s and youth choirs of Grace Community Church is to provide the youth of our church with the opportunity to serve the Lord and His saints—to use their voices for the glory of God and the encouragement of the church body. We believe this involves coming alongside families by training students to sing beautifully crafted songs and instructing them in proper vocal technique. We pray that the lyrics of the songs and hymns they learn will foster solid theological knowledge and musical understanding as they grow and learn to serve within the church body, all for the praise of our Master and Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ.

About Us

Our Youth Choirs include the Middle School Choir (grades 6–8) and High School Choir (grades 9–12). Both the Middle School and High School Choirs gather on scheduled Sundays at 4:45 pm, prior to the evening service. Rehearsals include preparation for singing in services or concerts at Grace Church as we learn hymns and anthems of the faith, lifting our voices in praise to the Lord. Students are instructed in good vocal technique and the basic elements of music notation.

FAQ

What commitments do choir members make?
The Youth Choir has periodic opportunities to serve on Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings, in the main services and fellowship groups. Specific dates will be emailed upon joining the choir and may be added throughout the year. Please give the director as much advance notice as possible if you have a scheduling conflict.

Am I allowed to miss rehearsal?
A student must participate in a minimum of three rehearsals immediately prior to any singing opportunity. Any absences must be discussed with the Youth Choir director or conductor, preferably with at least 24 hours’ notice.
