A rewarding and transformative experience for youth
TEMC Choir School Director: Olivia LaPointe
Rehearsals occur weekly on Wednesdays from September to May for all three groups of the choir.
Cherubs (JK through Grade 1): 5:30 - 6:15pm
A delightful introduction to music through engaging musical games and activities designed for pre-readers. Young singers will explore rhythm, melody, and harmony in a fun and supportive environment. They’ll also gain valuable performance experience by coming together to sing with the Seraphic Voices, Voce Unite, and the TEMC Sanctuary Choir, allowing them to share their newfound skills with the community. Join us as we nurture a love for music and build confidence in our young performers!
Instructor: Carrie Loring
Seraphic Voices (Grades 2-6): 5:30 - 6:30 pm
A combination of classical training and contemporary music creates a rich and dynamic musical experience for Seraphic Voices! Students will develop their performance and musical skills by singing with the TEMC Sanctuary Choir and Contemporary Worship Band.

Vox Nova (Grades 7-12): 5:30 - 6:45 pm
NEW THIS YEAR! Vox Nova is our teen choir Leadership Program, where music and community come together. Singers grow as musicians while stepping into exciting roles— singing as soloists & leading small ensembles in concerts and services, mentoring choristers in Cherubs and Seraphic Voices, helping with rehearsals, and shaping the creative life of Choir School. Along the way, Vox Nova choristers earn volunteer hours and gain leadership experience. Workshops with our special musical guests add extra fun and learning in areas like vocal technique, singing with a microphone, music composition, conducting, and so much more! Join us to make music, build lasting connections, and grow as leaders within our community!
