Our children's choirs are open to children ages K3 through 12th grade. All are welcome to join whether they are brand-new or seasoned singers! Membership at St. Philip's is not required.

Our youngest singers practice music readiness and learning to move to music in a Christian environment, while our older singers build on those fundamentals and learn to harmonize and blend their voices in a choir setting. Our choirs rehearse weekly on Wednesdays (K3–3rd grade) and Thursdays (4th–12th grade) during the school year and sing a minimum of six services between October and May.

Supervision will be provided for all choristers from 3:45 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. regardless of rehearsal time. Choristers may arrive early and/or stay later. Children will either be in rehearsal with their music director or rotating to a snack and fellowship time.
