Asbury Choir…

is for children in First and Second Grade . We begin to explore our faith through the music of the church, learning scripture and spiritual concepts through song. We also explore the hymnal and learn about worship. Of course we learn music basics through singing together with a good sound and learning the language of music.

Wesley Choir…

is for children in Second through Fifth Grades. These children learn the importance of being worship leaders as well as the importance of music in our faith. They learn the great hymns of the church as well as many anthems prepared for worship.

Asbury Chimers…

is for children in First and Second Grades. Ringing handchimes is another fun way to learn the music of the church. The children work on basic ringing technique, recognizing notes and learning to read rhythms.

Wesley Chimers…

is for children in Second through Fifth Grades.  These children become more advanced in their handchime ringing and music reading.  They learn the importance of being a part of a group where their contribution is vital.  Wesley Chimers ring often in the 10:50 worship service.
