Christ-in-Sight Praise Band
This band of musicians sings and plays (rhythm, guitar, keyboards, drums, etc.) at the 11:00 a.m. service.  We rehearse Wednesdays from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. in the sanctuary and the parlor (sometimes we don’t finish until 9:45!).  A High School level music reading ability and vibrant energy are beneficial, and because we are a small group the commitment level is higher.  Talk to Alan Murray, director at (913) 432-5573 x219 if you are interested in this ministry.

Children's Choir
Children get to sing once a month from September through May at the 11:00 a.m. service.  Grades 1st—6th meet at 10:35 a.m. (3rd floor East Wing) as part of the Sunday School program.  We sing, play instruments and practice for our Worship performances.  Come Join Us!  Leave a message at the church (913) 432-5573 for Lyra Pherigo, Children's Choir Director.

Youth Choir Program
The Youth Choir Program is for 7th-12th grade students.  The group plays handbells, sings, and leads the congregation 4 to 6 times a year during Sunday morning worship.  Rehearsal is 6:00-6:30 p.m. Wednesdays in Music Seminar Room.

Handbell Choirs
We rehearse Sundays from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary Balcony and play once a month at 8:50 a.m. worship.  Our choir is made up of everyone from experienced musicians to novice readers, and all are welcome to join!  For those who are interested in a bigger challenge, some members also participate in bell quartets, quintets, and trios once a month for the Saturday evening service and for the 11:00 a.m. Sunday service.  Call Bev Ramsburg if you’d like to ring with us!  (913) 236-8211
