Our Adult Choir consisting of those in High School or above is directed by Sheryl Grotenhuis. This choir sings during our morning worship services approximately once a month. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings at 8:00 and Sunday mornings at 11 AM. About twice a year we will substitute this choir with a "Male Chorus" or "Women's Choir".
The purpose of our praise team is to assist in leading the congregation in corporate worship through music, scripture, and testimony. Currently, we have approximately 60 members which allow us a variety in our teams and planning. Our praise teams participate in the worship service every Sunday evening and 3 times a month during the morning service. Teams consist of vocalists, piano, synthesizer, guitars, bass, drums, and on occasion we have had the violin, saxophone, or even flute.Practices are held on Sunday mornings and evenings prior to the service.
This orchestrated group of musicians has been a part of our worship for approximately 18 years under the direction of Laura Haverdink. From as young as age 9 to, at one time, age 70, this group performs several times a year not only in our own church but at many other events in the community.
Our 15 member bell choir has been ministering to our congregation since 1993. This dedicated group, directed by Judy Vlietstra has rehearsals every Monday evening at 7:00 and performs during our worship services approximately 9 times a year. During the Christmas season they are usually asked to perform outside the church for different community events. Every other year the bell choir participates in a mass choir of about 5000. This takes place at an area conference where they also learn many new techniques and have the opportunity to sight read new music.
