Children's Ministry at The People's Church

KidzPraise

KidzPraise is the Children’s Music Ministry at The People’s Church. Each week, children are singing great songs, learning hip moves, playing fun music games and discovering new instruments. The choirs present two major programs every year, in December and May, with singing, drama, and dance. These events provide the children an opportunity to use their gifts and talents to praise the Lord.

KidzPraise will resume in September, 2008 with lots of great plans for the new year! You may register any Sunday evening during choir, beginning September 21. Choirs meet on Sunday, 5 - 6:30 p.m. from September through May.

Through weekly sessions and annual programs, KidzPraise choirs teach children important worship concepts and music skills and give them the opportunity to make wonderful lifelong memories. Contact Diane Dawson for more information about KidzPraise.

Christmas Musical on Sunday, December 14

The KidzPraise choirs will present their annual Christmas program on Sunday, December 14, at 5 p.m

Three Year Olds

Three-Year-Old Choir is for children who turn three by September 30 of the current school year. The children are introduced to basic music concepts through kid-friendly songs and lots of movement and activities in monthly theme-based units. Their first experiences of praising the Lord with songs are guided by a team of wonderful teachers. This is the only choir requiring pre-registration. Contact Diane Dawson to register.

Four and Five Year Olds

Four-year-old preschoolers and five-year-old kindergarteners have their own choirs. These choirs participate in music activities, playing instruments, movement and singing songs and hymns, all supporting a monthly biblical concept. These choirs join with the first grade choir to present programs in December and May.

1st Grade

The 1st Grade Choir continues to use activity based teaching plus lots of songs and hymns. They also work on learning the books of the Bible in song. The first graders have the leadership roles with speaking parts and solos in the programs that they participate in with the preschoolers and kindergarteners.

2nd-6th Grades

These choirs focus on learning lots of praise songs and present two major productions every year in December and May. The choirs work on learning music concepts, developing vocal skills, participating in drama and movement, playing instruments and learning hymns and worship songs. The two musicals are supported with Bible studies written specifically for our children. Every child has the opportunity to audition for special parts in the musical in the areas of drama, singing and dance.
