MUSIC MINISTRY
There are many opportunities for people to use their musical talents for service at Toccoa First. We offer several different musical ensembles, including a contemporary praise band, chancel choir, children's choir and handbell choir. If you love singing or playing an instrument, there's a group for you at Toccoa First.
Praise Band
Our praise brand leads worship for The Alternative, our 8:30 contemporary worship service, on Sunday mornings. They practice every Sunday morning at 7 am in Cheek Hall and sometimes practice on Thursday evenings. If you would like to join our praise band on a regular or rotating basis, please contact the church office so we can get you connected with our praise band leaders.
Chancel Choir
Our chancel choir sings at the 11:00 traditional service every Sunday as well as at special services and events, including Christmas and Easter programs and "Symphony Sundays", presentations by choir, handbells and professional orchestral musicians. New singers are welcome in the choir! The chancel choir practices on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm in the choir room (upstairs in main building).
Handbell Choir
The handbell choir, under direction of Ken White, periodically provides special music at our 11:00 traditional service as well as at special events, including Symphony Sundays, Christmas and Easter programs. They practice on Mondays at 6:15 pm in the sanctuary. If you are interested in joining, call the church office to talk to Director White.
Children's Choir
Our children's choir provides special music at both the contemporary and traditional services. The children are given the opportunity to sing (and sometimes play bells) for the congregation several times a year. All children are welcome to participate in the children's choir, which practices on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour (9:45 am) and Wednesday evenings during the JAM program (6 pm).
