Music is a very important part of the life of Sierra Vista. We have a variety of musical groups of various sorts made up of all ages. These include our Sanctuary Choir, Youth Choir, two children's choirs (elementary and preschool), 3 adult handbell choirs, youth handbell choirs, and 2 children's handbell choirs. There are also seasonal groups, which meet only during special seasons. We will soon offer music classes for those who want to learn more about music and how to use your talents in worship. These groups are open to you. 

We have music opportunities for all ages.

 “Praise God with the sounding of the trumpet; praise God with the harp and lyre! Praise God with tambourine and dancing; praise God with the strings and flute! Praise God with the clash of cymbals; praise God with resounding cymbals!”  
-- Psalm 150:3-5

Come give the gift of your voice to God’s service in the Sanctuary Choir here at Sierra Vista!

 WE HAVE MUSIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL AGES.

Let us remember that our praise to God should not be limited to church services but should overflow to our homes and places of work. In all times and in all surroundings, may Jesus Christ be praised!

Through the melodies and rhythms of music, we are called together to worship God. The richness of diverse types of music helps us to offer praise to God and to Convey what lies in the depths of our souls

Here at Sierra Vista we have a group called the “Circuit Singers” who go once a month to bring good news and good tidings to those who are shut-ins or who live in assisted living homes. We sing favorite songs from the Cokesbury hymnal; songs of peace, songs of salvation and songs of praise to our Lord and King! Persons of any age who love God and love to sing (NO audition required!!!) are invited to join us on the 2nd Tuesday morning of each month. Come travel with us to sing for God and brighten the day of others! Afterwards, join us for lunch and fellowship.
