Smart Opportunities

Prima Voce

Vocal ensemble for high school girls (grades 9 - 12). This auditioned group meets two Sundays a month at 4 p.m. and sings periodically in morning and evening worship.

Alyssa Goins, director
Room 220
5:00 - 5:50 p.m.
Chapel Choir

Choir is for all teenagers and will include a variety of styles of choral music -- uptempo and fun rhythms as well as gentler tunes that typically become favorites. The choir will sing occasionally on Sunday mornings and evenings, for Hanging of the Green (December 4), and possibly a couple of Sunday evening appearances in other local churches. The choir usually does a summer tour in June.

Mark Edwards, director

Chapel Ringers

Develop handbell ringing techniques and music reading skills while preparing music for worship and special events.

Visual fX

Visual interpretation of musical selections combining sign language and dance routines. Our goal is for this group to perform periodically on Sunday mornings during worship.

Susan Owens and Joy Atkins, leaders
Room 220
Rhythm fX

Rhythm fX -- Praise God with the high-sounding cymbal and a lot more! Rhythm fX meets to create stand-alone instrumental music and to provide instrumental support for the Chapel Choir. Students of all instrumental interests are invited to participate and improve music reading skills, work on ensemble playing ability, and explore how worship can happen without words. Preference given to those who provide their own instrument.

Patrick Watts, Lynda O'Rear and Ben Weaver, leaders
Choir Room
Drama Troupe

Develop several skits for use in worship, The Edge and various settings. This group will utilize humorous scripts, dramatic readings and other content to help enhance worship and encourage worshipers to reflect on their experience with God.

Chris O'Rear and Bob Bunn, leaders
Room 230
Media Workshop

Hands-on training in our computer lab. We'll be working on creating digital media to enhance our worship experiences--as well as producing newsletters, event promos, website graphics, event logos, and other visual pieces for youth or churchwide events. Limited to 6 students with moderate computer skills; preference will be given to upperclassmen.

Steve and Lacy Tite, leaders, Room 461
Putting O.F.F. (Others First Forever)

An opportunity to share the love of Christ to the needs of downtown Nashville. Our student ministry wants to serve others from Meals-on-Wheels to planning outreach projects.
