Music for Children & Youth |
"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth! Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise!" -Psalm 98:4

A graded educational music program is available for Children (Pre-K through 5th grade) and Youth (6th grade -12th grade.) Musical skills are learned through scriptural songs and music games. From learning to sing songs, how to ring chimes, how to play percussion instruments, how to conduct, and acting out bible stories in musicals, our young people are prepared to join the Adult Choir during their senior year or upon graduation from high school. All of the choirs interface with KidZ Crew or Youth Fellowship. Questions? Contact Rhonda Hambright, Director of Music (Rhonda@sspres.org; 912-638-2220
Children's Choirs (August-May)
Cherub Choir // Preschoolers
Wednesdays @ 5:30PM in the Music Attic (meet on the playground at 4PM to sign in for KidZ Crew.)
The Cherub Choir is our youngest group of choristers. It is a training choir that sings only occasionally in worship. Steady beat, singing on pitch with words in a group, and clapping or tapping rhythms are skills learned in this choir. Early training and exposure to music is the key to a life long love of the art. Children 3 through 5 years old are welcome in this choir.

Seraphim Choir // Grades K-2

The Seraphim Choir is the next step in learning to sing and play rhythm instruments that will prepare them for ringing chimes in the next age group. This choir joins with either the Cherub Choir or the Angel Choir to sing in worship. Taking part in musicals in the Advent season or in the Spring is another way these children learn the stories of the Bible.
