Choristers (Choir for Children, Kindergarten-Grade 5)

Please join us for a fantastic year with the St. Martin's Children's Choir, glorifying God through energetic music, fun and fellowship!

The Choristers process and sing on a regular basis during the Sunday 9:00 AM or 9:30 AM worship services. They also sing anthems both alone and with the Parish Choir. Before the sermon, they return to Founders' Hall for rehearsals and vocal technique training. They master the liturgical responses, canticles, hymns and service music sung by the Parish each week.

The Choristers are directed by Kellen Gray, Coordinator of Children's Music Ministries. They meet each Sunday at 8:30 AM or 8:15 AM in Founders' Hall.

For more information, contact Kellen Gray.
