Ministry of Music Offers Opportunities for All Ages at CCC
Come Share Your Talents at CCC!
The music ministry at CCC offers numerous, diverse, age-related and intergenerational opportunities to share your musical and artistic gifts and talents. Here is a list of choirs and musical ensembles that will welcome you with open arms. Come join in our "joyful noise" as we proclaim our faith through our ministry of music in worship and mission.
High School to Adult - Chancel Choir

Rehearsal: Thursdays, 7:30 p.m. Choir Room
The Chancel Choir sings in worship weekly at the 10:30 a.m. service and offers larger choral works several times throughout the year. The choir makes an international concert tour every three to four years.
K-5th grade - Chapel Choir
Rehearsals begin Sunday, September 11
For children K through 5th grade.

Rehearsal immediately following worship each week. 11:45 a.m. until 12:15 p.m.
This choir will rehearse each Sunday immediately following the conclusion of the 10:30 a.m. worship service. While parents enjoy the fellowship coffee hour in the social hall, choristers will gather in the choir room for a quick snack and a 30 minute rehearsal. Song text sheets and listening CD’s enable even the youngest members of the choir to learn great music for worship. This choir sings in worship on the first Sunday of every month.
