The Ascension Youth Choirs strives to combine religious education with choir, music, and theater arts. The program seeks to foster the love of God through music and theater and provide content which nourishes the intellect as well as the heart so that children's musical abilities and faith can flourish. Music and arts are an essential part of the human experience and are especially important in a child's development. Exposure to music and the arts helps children increase academic skills, but more importantly, sustained participation in arts programs helps develop discipline, perseverance, reasoning skills and imagination.
Cherub & Youth Choir: Directed by Bailey Joy Myers, our Director of Music Ministries, Bailey is a gifted musician, composer, director, and teacher. The Youth Choir seeks to foster the love of God through music. As a member of the choir, children will learn basic musical skills in rhythmic notation and sight singing, and apply these skills to songs and hymns from the Hymnal 1982 and other music resources. Music education has been shown to increase academic scores in subjects, such as math, while also encouraging collaboration and self-esteem.
All Choirs sing solo performances throughout the church year
and also sing as a combined choir on special occasions.
A Highlight of the Year is the Children's Christmas Pageant.
Directed by Bailey Joy Myers and the Sunday School Teachers
each pageant is unique, telling the Christmas story
in fresh ways that contemporary Christians can enjoy.
