Children’s Music Programs
We have two choirs for elementary-age children, as well as a special music program for three and four-year-olds. In addition to singing frequently in our Sunday morning worship services, a variety of other fun choir activities for children include retreats, special programs, concerts and musicals. Through these choir programs, children memorize and sing important Biblical texts and Christian concepts as they learn to experience their faith through music.
- Pre-K Music is designed to teach our three and four-year-olds about music as an expression of God’s love, this introductory music experience is perfect preparation for joining the Children’s Choir when they enter Kindergarten!
- Children’s Choir is for children in grades K – 2. Our FUMCFW Children’s Choir frequently sings in worship and participates in seasonal programs with the Junior Worship Leaders.
- Junior Worship Leaders is for singers in grades 3 – 5. They often participate in Sanctuary worship services, and present an annual Christmas program and spring musical.
