The Children's Choir provides an outlet for children to learn to express their love of God through song. Emphasis is placed on good singing habits and learning to read music, as well as learning the many styles of great sacred repertoire.

The Children's Choir rehearses each Sunday at 10:45 am (following 9:30 am Sunday School classes). There are occasional special rehearsals prior to performances. Children in grades 1-5 are invited to become members of the choir. Special performances by the Children's Choir include the Family Christmas Eve Service, the annual Thanksgiving dinner, and special Lenten concerts. Many members also take active roles in the annual Christmas Pageant and Spring Musical.

An important dividend of the choir is the fellowship and joys that members experience from working together to create something special. The members get to know one another outside rehearsals, as the choirs are integrated into FAPC's educational programs. They learn about God in class and come together to sing and live out what they are learning.

"The program is greatly valued by parents, some of whom were drawn to Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church by the quality of our children's music program," Margaret Shafer said. "We try to serve the whole child here; musical expression is an important part of our ministry, and our choir program is integrated into our education program."

There are no dues or fees.
