VOCAL CHOIRS

Cherub Choir – This is our beginning choir for ages 3 through Kindergarten.  This is a great opportunity for children to begin a life-long love of music and experience the joy of serving our Risen Savior by singing once a month in our Sunday morning worship services.

Chorister Choir – This enthusiastic group of 1^st through 5^th graders can really make a joyful and beautiful sound.  The older members help the younger members as we use real music to learn beautiful anthems for Sunday morning services and special occasions including the Festival of Carols and Lights.

The Master’s Singers – This is the auditioned choir of Gloria Dei Lutheran School children in grades 3-5. Specialized vocal training and exciting performances our in the community makes our early morning rehearsals well worth the effort.

Youth Choir – Making a joyful noise doesn’t have to stop as you get older!  Experienced singers as well as first-timers can be part of this energetic group open to 6^th – 12^th graders as part of our Wednesday night youth activities.

Senior Choir - There’s always room for one more in our Adult choir! Leading worship every Sunday and giving back through time and talents with beautiful anthems gives a special touch to each service.  Music can speak to the heart in a way that spoken words cannot.  Come be a part of the Senior Choir for this uplifting experience!
