Music Opportunities for Children

The Music Ministry works closely with the Children's Ministry to integrate music into our students' total church experience.

Children's Choirs

The Music Ministry sponsors a fully graded choir program for children ages three through fifth grade. The choirs meet on Wednesdays during the school year. Our Second-Ponce Singers participate in worship services every six to eight weeks, and all children's choirs participate in special presentations at Christmas and in the spring.

Our purpose is to teach children about the love of Jesus through the gift of music. Beginning with preschoolers, children are led to know of Jesus' care for them through singing, dancing, and playing games and instruments. All children will share in Jesus' love through singing and performing psalms, hymns and anthems.
