FIRST ASSEMBLY WORSHIP CHOIR

The mission of First Assembly’s choir is to worship God in Spirit and in truth. Using its gift of song, the choir strives to “lead” the congregation in worship each week. Members meet on Thursday for rehearsal and sing during the Sunday morning services. The choir also ministers at several special events throughout the year. Whatever your age, if you enjoy singing and giving glory to God, stop by, sit in on one of our rehearsals, and talk to our choir director, Mark Gordon, to see if choir is the place for you. If you can’t commit to being in the choir all the time, become a “short-term member” and be in the choir for 4-5 weeks prior to our special events! We’re sure you’ll love the choir! The choir will meet until the Independence Celebration is complete, then will take a short break, and will resume in August.
