Chancel CHoir
The Chancel Choir sings Anthems and other special music at the 11 am service on Sundays. The age range of our members is from early 20’s to late 80’s but we are trying hard to make a good blending to praise God. We sing from Renaissance Motet to contemporary spiritual arrangements with great energy and excitement. Besides regular Sundays service, we also provide special music program in Lent, Easter, Advent and Christmas season. Chancel Choir meets on Wednesday at 7 p.m. for practice and meets at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning to prepare the Sunday service. The Choir typically takes a break from practices during the summer and Dr. Kim utilizes soloists, duets, and quartets to offer special music for the Worship Services. New members are always welcome!
