The Chancel Choir is our largest vocal ensemble made up of adults of all ages and is at the very heart of the Ministry of Music at First Church and leads worship each Sunday at 11:00am!   This choral group provides a wide variety of anthems and special music from the great choral classics of Bach, Brahms, Haydn, and Handel to wonderful Spirituals, Gospel Music, and Hymn Arrangements by such arrangers as Mark Hayes, Joseph Martin, and Allen Pote.    With a membership of over 85 voices, the ensemble rehearses each Wednesday evening from 7:30 - 9:00 pm and childcare is provided.  In addition to Sunday morning worship, the Chancel Choir maintains a schedule of performances that include two musical traditions at First Church:  The Patriotic Pops Concert held each July 4th in connection with the Fireworks show provided by the city of Plano and for the Christmas Pops Event in December, which includes the best of sacred and secular music for the holiday.  New members are always welcome - no matter what your level of musical ability.   Our choir rehearsals are open and no auditions are held.  Come and join us!!
