Adult Music Ministries

Adult Music Ministries
Musicians of all ages have a wide range of opportunities to use their musical gifts at Desert Cross.  Opportunities for adults are listed below.  Visit our Children's Music Ministries page for more information on opportunities for children and youth.

Contemporary Songleaders
Sundays 9:00am and Tuesdays at 6:30pm
This group provides musical leadership every Sunday for our two contemporary services. Vocal teams participate on a rotation basis. This group also meets two Sundays each month from 12pm-1pm for a large group rehearsal.

Youth Ensembles (Junior and Senior High)

We know how busy Jr. and Sr. high students are, but we still want to give them the opportunity to share their musical gifts in a worship setting. Small ensembles, both vocal and instrumental, will be offered throughout the year. Each opportunity will require between 3-5 rehearsals for preparation depending on the difficulty of the music. A list of dates for rehearsals and performances will be posted on our website as well as in our weekly Caravan newsletter. Youth who are interested in regular participation may join the Sanctuary Choir or one of our Songleader teams.



Ringing Praise Bell Choir

Mondays 7pm

This 3 octave choir leads our traditional worship on a regular basis. Rehearsals include training, practice, skills development and technique and working on anthems. The choir also prepares special music during festival times of the church year.  Previous bell experience is not required but basic music reading ability is necessary. This choir is open to people high school age and older.


Sanctuary Choir
 

Wednesdays 7pm

Our Sanctuary Choir is open to people high school age and older. This choir provides musical leadership for our traditional service on a regular basis. In addition, the choir presents a Christmas and a Good Friday Cantata each year.



Cantata Choir

Can’t sing with a choir on a regular basis but want to be involved?  Why not join us for our Christmas or Good Friday Cantata?
