Children's Choirs

All children’s choirs are back in session! We believe that every child is a unique and beloved individual created by God.  We welcome children with all ranges of musical abilities to our choirs.  We are also committed to including children with special needs in our music program.  Please help  your child's choir teacher know the best methods of teaching your child.

Children's Choirs begin at 6:15 on Wednesday nights, with Children's Chimes for 5th and 6th graders starting at 5:40.

Those children who eat dinner at WNAB will have some structured play time in the gym with paid staff from 5:45-6:15, at which time; they will be taken to choir.  Please look through the following descriptions to see which choir best fits your needs. Please contact Amy Cooper ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) with any questions.
