The hopes and expectations for all Christ Church choristers are realized within the structure of five separate choirs. These five choirs function independently toward a common goal: community and service. With the new organ complete, the stage is now set for choirs at Christ Church to grow and flourish into an extraordinary expression of our Christianity. Starting this fall, you may notice some changes: rehearsal schedules, age ranges, and a name change for one choir. These are all in an effort to streamline a natural progression of advancement in the choirs, uncomplicate the schedule, and more accurately label our ensembles. Therefore with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, won’t you make a commitment to serve the LORD with your voice?
