Children & Youth

Alleluia Choir

The sacred musical and singing education begins in this choir for children age Kindergarten–2^nd grade with an increased awareness of the basic elements of music. Rehearsals are on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The children sing as part of Sunday morning worship every six to eight weeks along with participating in our combined choir festival services.

Laudate Singers

The musical Christian education continues in the Laudate Singers (pronounced lou-DAH-tay, Latin for "praise") for children in grades 3 through 5 with increased emphasis on singing technique and music reading, often singing in multiple parts, along with a greater understanding of Christian musical repertoire and the Lutheran worship service. Rehearsal is Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The choir sings on Sunday mornings every four to five weeks along with our major choir festivals.

Jubilate Singers

This choir for youth in grades 6–12 continues to provide musical training as well as praise to our Lord in our traditional services with a varied and extensive Christian repertoire. The Jubilate Singers (pronounced yoo-bee-LAH-tay, Latin for "rejoice") rehearse on Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The choir sings on Sunday mornings every four to five weeks and participates in major choir festivals.

King of Glory Youth Orchestra

We are blessed with many young, gifted instrumentalists at KoG. Scott Loehr, Associate Music Director, has organized these young people into a group which plays in worship approximately four times a year and for special events outside of worship. The Youth Orchestra meets for rehearsal on first and third Sunday afternoons at 3:00 p.m.

Adults

New Creation

This adult choir focuses on music for Jazz Blend Worship. New Creation sings a wide variety of music from traditional to contemporary. Scott Loehr, Associate Music Director, directs this ensemble. New Creation meets on Wednesdays from 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.

Glory Ringers

The Glory Ringers handbell choir (comprised of older youth and adults) meets for rehearsal on Wednesdays from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The group rings in church approximately once a month beginning in September and ending in May or early June. They occasionally take part in local handbell festivals and events. No prior handbell experience is necessary. They'll teach you everything you need to know. The Glory Ringers are directed by Jan Fisher and assisted by Elise Dixon and Kari Daelke.

Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary Choir sings music from the classical repertoire of the last 500 years. They sing each Sunday primarily at 11:00 a.m., but also sing at 8:15 a.m. on some festival Sundays, and perform at least one major work with orchestra each year. The ensemble meets for rehearsals at 7:30 p.m. each Wednesday and is conducted by Jim Loeffler, Director of Music and Artistic Ministries.

Velocity Band

The 10:40 a.m. Velocity service is another opportunity for gifted musicians to lead in Worship. Rob Draper directs this talented group of guitarists, keyboard players, drummers, bass players, and singers. 11^th and 12^th graders as well as adults are welcome. They rehearse the 2^nd and 4^th Thursdays of each month at 7:00 p.m.

The Summer Choir

During the summer months, the Sanctuary Choir continues to sing most Sunday mornings, but in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere. This is a great opportunity for those who are "on the fence" about joining to simply show up on Sunday morning and get a feel for singing with us. There are no weekly rehearsals (with a few exceptions), and the music is easy enough to learn in 30 minutes, even if you're not very comfortable reading music. High School choir members are also welcomed! There are no auditions and no strings attached. Just come and sing.
