Fine Arts Ministries

The goal of the Fine Arts Ministries are to uplift the Lord through music, ballet, drama, and puppets. The director's goals are to provide instruction, inspiration, worship, and encouragement for a closer walk with Christ through each facet of ministry.

Chancel Choir    
The Chancel Choir has been busy ‘making a joyful noise’ on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. and on Sunday mornings during the 10:00 a.m. Worship Service. If God has gifted you in the area of singing with a group that loves to praise the Lord (and has a lot of fun doing it), please prayerfully consider joining us. We would love to find you a seat, a folder and some great fellowship. The door is open and we’d love to welcome you into this ‘family.’
