"Give thanks to God with instruments of music! Sing praises to God accompanied by a grand piano or organ. Sing to God a new song; Use your skillful playing to reinforce your shouts of joy." Psalm 33:2-3

Sanctuary Choir and Skyware Choir

Our Sanctuary and Skyward Choirs have an outstanding history of presenting music to the glory of God and to the blessing of worshippers here in Orange and abroad. God has gifted the congregation with incredibly talented persons with wonderful voices. Our music ministry touches the heart of everyone who worships in this church. When you worship with us we believe you will find it to be so.

Carol Choir and Chorister Choir

The Youth Choirs strive to make Choir a religious, educational, artistic, and recreational factor in the lives of its members. We encourage responsibility, the spirit of cooperation and service to the church. Carol Choir (Kindergarten through 3rd grade) participates in special worship services throughout the year. Chorister Choir (4th through 8th grade) places emphasis on the learning of reading music, regular singing in the Sunday Worship services (monthly) and beginning to understand the importance of music in worship. We also study the Christian year through hymns and anthems. Both choirs are directed by Audrey Mink.

 

Old Towne Academy

As an outreach to the community, the Old Towne Academy offers voice, piano, and dance lessons at a reduced cost here at our church. The lives of over 100 families have been touched by this ministry.
