Almost fifty singers make a joyful noise to the Lord in the Chancel Choir. A good balance of sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses, several of whom are past music directors or hold music degrees, provide an eclectic repertoire. Led by Gayle Stepp, organist and choir director, music from Baroque, through Romantic and to contemporary composers challenge the ensemble and provide worshipful expression for the congregation.
