Adults
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir sings an anthem for almost every worship service, and offers two large choral/orchestral works per year. This is a very dedicated group comprised of professional and volunteer singers. It is also a very rewarding fellowship opportunity. The Chancel Choir is directed by Lisa Bond and Alyssa Bennett. We are also very fortunate to have seven professional section leaders, all of whom have successful vocal careers throughout the Chicago area. This unique adult choir rehearses on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. and on Sunday mornings, the choir meets 45 minutes before worship in preparation for the 8:30 or 10 a.m. worship services.
Adult Bell Choir
The Adult Bell Choir meets on Wednesday evenings from 7–8 p.m, September through May. The hand bell choir performs occasionally throughout the church season at Sunday worship. This choir is open to anyone and there is no audition necessary, but musical experience is helpful. This is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship. This ensemble is directed by Lisa Bond.
