Music
St. Paul offers an exceptional music program under the direction of our Minister of Music, Mr. Greg Paul.
Kindergarten through 4th grades study general music once a week. Students beginning in grades 5 are allowed to further explore their musical talents by choosing to join the St. Paul Beginning Band, also directed by Mr. Paul. From there, they may join the Advanced Band. The bands participate in worship services and in a spring concert.
A Handbell Choir is available for interested students as an after-school activity that plays for worship services and special occasions. An auditioned select choir is available as an after-school activity emphasizing reading music, part singing, and participation in choral festivals. All students participate in our St. Paul School Choir, practicing twice weekly during the school day.
The congregation and surrounding community are blessed by the choir through their performances during church services and other community events during the school year
