Music
MUSIC
has always been an important component of the public worship of Almighty God. From earliest times humankind has expressed its deepest emotions, including its yearning for closeness to God with songs and other musical utterances. At Christ Church we value our musical life highly, and we strive to offer our very best in our musical worship of our Creator God.
CHOIRS AT CHRIST CHURCH

The Parish Choir exists to lead the sung worship of the people of God in the pews at Christ Church, and to make musical offerings during the liturgy, offered to God, for his glory, and for the inspiration of his people. The Choir is open to adults and older youth. The music director likes to get to know potential choir members at a brief interview. Ken Karadin and Treece Efird train and direct this group.
