Church Chant for Youth

Music is an intrinsic part of our Orthodox worship.  Involving our youth in this important ministry will grant them a deeper connection to our Lord and His Church.  We recommend that you fully integrate your youth into your choir.  Arrange for them to have a “highlight” during the service.  In this way, they are full members of the parish body and at the same time given a moment to offer their gifts to God in a unique way.  You may also choose to have your youth be the main choir for special services. 

The resources provided will help you achieve the above goals.

 

How to Run a Youth Choir Rehearsal
