children's choir

Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Deuteronomy 6:5

The BiG PiCTURE is a world of colors, smells, sounds, tastes and textures designed to reflect their Creator’s beauty. The Big Picture is a mosaic of kids’ talents and gifts united in creative worship. They will learn to Connect with their creator, use their gifts and talents to Serve others, and experience the joy of Sharing the message of God’s love and salvation with all people.

Children’s Choirs are wonderful opportunities for training in technical musicianship as well as learning to be worship leaders. Performance is not our primary goal, as we are focusing on learning to experience music and worship. As a child’s age increases, more opportunity will be available for singing as worship leaders. When we do sing in worship, we ask you to help us teach our children what worship is about by stressing the worship and leadership aspect as opposed to performance

Our Desire

It is our desire that each child experiences Christ’s love in our choirs and that our choirs will be an outreach ministry. Children’s choirs are wonderful opportunities for training in technical musicianship as well as learning to be worship leaders. Performance is not our primary goal, as we are focusing on learning to experience music and worship. As a child’s age increases, more opportunity will be available for singing as worship leaders. When we do sing in worship, we ask you to help us teach our children what worship is about by stressing the worship and leadership aspect as opposed to performance.

Worship and Performance Opportunities

Music Time (4’s & 5’s)& Music Makers (1st-3rd Grade) will have several opportunities to sing in worship as well as mission opportunities throughout the year.

Young Musicians (4th-6th Grade) will sing in worship and the Singing Christmas Tree. Children are expected to attend a least 70% of rehearsals (8 out of 11 rehearsals), September 7-November 16 to participate in the singing Christmas Tree.

The Big Picture Memory Verses & Hymns

A hymn/chorus and scripture verse will be featured each month in Children’s Choirs. Hymns are a vital part of our Christian heritage, and instill within us praise, doctrine, commitment and hope. Scripture memorization will encourage children to have a desire for God’s Word, know God’s Grace, and to build a life with Jesus.

Each has been designated by age. We encourage you to track your child’s memorization in God’s Word as a family and to find the blessing of memorizing together!

Your child may sing or recite to a choir leader at any time during the choir year.

See the listing of Memory Verses and Hymns below.
