Area of Ministry

In Junior and Elementary Choirs, Central Kids and friends in grades 1-5 learn to share God's love through song. We practice important musical concepts like pitch and vowel matching, listening, counting, and vocal independence. We also learn about the seasons of the church year and the structure of worship, we hear Bible stories related to our anthems, and we take turns praying out loud each week at the end of rehearsal.
