Joyful Praise Choir

^4K—1^st Grade -- Becky Little, Director

This choir introduces children to singing and musical skills while preparing them to be lifelong participants in worship. Singing, music, hymn learning, Bible stories, and worship skills are taught through a variety of games and activities. Process, not product, is the aim.

Covenant Choir

2^nd—5^th Grade -- Lisa Gallagher, Director

 Children grow in their understanding of vocal and musical skills through singing and playing instruments while continuing to study hymns, Bible stories, and worship skills during weekly rehearsals. Regular participation in worship and working together as a team is very important in this process.

Revelation Ringers

Adults - NeTorrian Patton, Director Wednesdays 6:00-7:15.

OAPC Instrumental Ensemble

Adults - Betsy Petty, Director

 Seasonally, this group of committed instrumentalists accompanies anthems, hymns and prepares individual music selections for worship.  The ensemble is open to all types of instrumentalists including strings, brass, woodwinds, keyboard and percussion.  Music difficulty is easy to moderate and selected depending on the abilities of the players.  Instrumentalists from this group, also have an opportunity for solo work in worship with choirs or individually.  Rehearsals are called a few weeks prior to playing in worship.  Betsy will be glad to talk with anyone interested in sharing their talents with OAPC. 

Jazz Ensemble

Adults - Lyle Back, Director

A unique music ministry of OAPC, the Jazz Ensemble leads worship services two- three times during the program year and on other occasions as requested.  Instrumentalists include, percussion, guitar, keyboard, wind instruments and any other jazz appropriate instrumentalists.  Rehearsals are called on an “as needed” basis and casual in its approach.  Ability to read music is helpful, but a “good ear” is more helpful. Lyle will be glad to talk with any jazz enthusiasts about participation.
