Chancel Chior
The Chancel Choir meets for rehearsal on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m., from September through May. They typically sing in worship about once a month, adding beautiful music and depth to our services.
If you enjoy singing and can read some music, we invite you to consider joining this wonderful group. It’s a great way to share your gifts and be part of a meaningful ministry!
Chapel Bells
The Chapel Bells were founded in 1973 and have continued to grow ever since! They rehearse on Wednesdays at 4:45 p.m., from September through May, and typically play during worship about once a month.
One of their highlights each year is performing at the Sturgis Area Arts Council’s annual Community Christmas Concert.
New members are always welcome, no previous experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and a love for music. If you’re interested in joining, we’d love to have you!

Mission
Communicating mission opportunities to the congregation for their participation through work, prayer and giving; helping the sick, the poor and the oppressed, reaching beyond the temporal and promoting the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, through which comes faith and salvation; remembering the words of Micah 6:8, What does the Lord require of you but to love justice, do mercy and walk humbly with God.
Presbyterian Women
Presbyterian Women (PW) is the national women’s organization of the Presbyterian Church, and our local group is an active part of that tradition. We meet on the first Thursday of each month, from September through May.
In addition to Bible study, we take part in several servant projects throughout the year, making a positive impact both in our church and our community.
We would love to have you join us at one of our meetings. All women are welcome!
Volunteer
We’re looking for volunteers to serve as Worship Leaders or Liturgists during our services. If you’re comfortable speaking in front of others, this could be a great way for you to get involved and serve our church family.
A sign-up sheet is available in the Narthex, or you can call the church office during regular business hours to learn more or choose a date that works for you. We’d love to have you be a part of this meaningful ministry!
