Youth Choir includes interested students in grades 6 through 12. The ensemble sings in worship services throughout the school year, usually on the third Sunday of every month; however, the schedule occasionally is altered to avoid major school or family conflicts. Students rehearse weekly on Sundays.

Wesley Bell Choir is comprised of 6th-8th graders. During the school year, this fun-loving choir commits to weekly rehearsals on Wednesday evenings. The ensemble rings in worship services approximately three to five times yearly and participates in one or two concerts. Musical background is helpful but not required. The desire to share talents to enhance the worship God is most important.
Chancel Bell Choir is comprised of high school-aged youth. During the school year, this fun-loving ensemble commits to weekly rehearsals on Sundays. The group rings in worship services approximately three to five times yearly and participates in one or two concerts. The members share in fun and fellowship but most importantly praise God with the musical talents given to them.

Opportunities include the opportunity to provide instrumental accompaniment during worship. Students interested in using their musical gifts in the praise of God should contact Carol Tralau. Students also are afforded the opportunity to audition for numerous honor choirs sponsored by ACDA (American Choral Directors Association), Choristers Guild, and AGO (American Guild of Organists).
