YOUTH CHOIRS
Kids learn to love to sing at St. Pauls, and we love hearing them in church. Kinderchapel (PreK) is directed by Tom Clancy. Childrens’ Choir (grades K-3) is directed by Breanna Coe, assisted by Scott Banjavcic. Pauls People (grades 4-8) is led by Kecia Waldschmidt.
BIBLE OFF BROADWAY
The month of January is given over to children and adults learning a Bible story or theme through music – with rewritten Broadway favorites teaching the lessons. It culminates in a fun and unforgettable celebration of the faith.
