Chancel Choir
Our Chancel Choir for adults enhances our worship every Sunday with traditional and gospel choral music offered throughout the service. Additionally, the choir presents special music programs during the Christmas and Easter seasons. The Chancel Choir rehearses on Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m. in preparation for worship.

Bay Shore Bells
Our handbell choir, The Bay Shore Bells, offers inspirational music in several worship services throughout the year and on holidays. This accomplished group of a dozen musicians always thrills our congregation with their synchronized playing and elegant touch. The Bay Shore Bells rehearse on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and at 8:00 a.m. on the Sundays they perform.

Children’s Choir and Musicals
Our Children’s Choir is made up of kids as young as four up through fifth grade. They meet on Sundays to rehearse after worship at 10:45 a.m in the Louise Henry Youth Chapel. The Children’s Choir sings to the glory of God and to the delight of our congregation several times per year during worship as well as performing a Christmas musical in December and another musical in the spring. Both musicals are presented on a Sunday morning during our regular 9:30 a.m. worship service.


Youth Arts
Our youth in sixth through twelfth grade offer their creative gifts to our worship life throughout the year. From serving as scripture readers to offering skits or dramas, to instrumental and vocal music, our youth are a talented bunch whose artistic abilities enhance our worship service.
