The Sanctuary Choir includes adults and youth and provides music for our 10 AM service. Their repertoire includes both classic sacred and contemporary music. The Choir practices Thursday, September - June at 7:30 PM.
Music Ministries
Music is a vital way to express faith.
Both singing and listening transports us to another dimension of our faith. At Community of Faith, a variety of musical groups enhance our weekly worship.
The Praise Team is an inter-generational group accompanied by piano, guitar, drums and occasionally other instruments like the flute, a fiddle, or djembe offering many contemporary Christian praise songs. This team also rehearses on Thursdays from 6:30 - 7:30 PM all year.
There's Always Room!
Do you love to sing, play an instrument. Hum really well? There's always room in the choir or for praising God through a variety of musical gifts. One way that folks explore music ministry at COF is through the monthly "Pop-up Choir" that meets monthly on the fourth Sundays in the Sanctuary at 9 AM to prepare an easy piece that is then performed during worship that day. No RSVP needed, just come and make music.
