Special Music Groups

A variety of musical styles is the hallmark of our worship services.

The Praise Team

The St. John’s Praise Team brings contemporary Christian music to the congregation one Sunday per month. With two guitars, a piano and four vocals, the songs are sometimes rocking, sometimes meditative, but always praising God and telling about the wonderful love of Jesus.

Our practice times are filled with singing, sharing and prayer time, with a healthy measure of laughter thrown in. There are no notes to follow, so we learn by hearing and sharing the melody from one to another. New members are always welcome, to help us “Experience, deepen and share the love of Jesus”.

Senior Choir

Our choir enjoys weekly rehearsals as well as social times. We welcome new members! Come join us!

We sing our hearts out on Sunday morning and promote having fun in the practices on Thursdays from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

We invite others to join us for our special productions like the Christmas and Easter Cantatas.

We actively participate in our services at the Church and in our community with Christmas caroling and at special activities such as the gospel sing at Heritage Park.
