Choir
Our choir, of 30 singers, under the direction of Douglas Knight, is open to all, from high school age to seniors. The choir sings contemporary inspirational praise anthems as well as traditional favourites, and leads the congregation in the singing of hymns. We invite you to come and “test drive” the choir. You will find that
- New singers of all levels are welcome at any time of the year.
- Beginners are encouraged; training is incorporated into rehearsal.
- Rehearsals are also a time of fellowship every Thursday evening, 7:30-9:30 p.m., in the Sanctuary.
If you are proficient in any musical instrument, please consider sharing your gift with us.
Music news is published monthly in our newsletter, Music Message, which will keep you informed about what we’ve done and what’s in store in the music ministry such as choral workshops, carol services, singing in the community, and much more!

The Christmas season marks a very special time for the choir. The Christmas choir is augmented to 55 singers. Many weeks of preparation go into presenting a very special service, an evening of choral music celebrating the birth of Jesus. It may be a candlelit service of carols and anthems or one that includes a cantata or perhaps an oratorio. There may be unaccompanied “a cappella” music, or solo or choral works with organ, piano, or other instruments.
