Our Mission

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

About Us

Our Youth Choir is for students in grades 7-12. Youth Choir gathers on scheduled Sundays at 4:45 pm, prior to the evening service.  Rehearsals include preparation for singing in services and concerts at Grace Church as we learn hymns and anthems of the faith, lifting our voices in praise to the Lord. Students are encouraged in good vocal technique and in learning the basic elements of music notation.
