Music has always played an important part of the life of Westbrook Park Church, and continues to be. Our current program has opportunities for all ages. We have four singing and 2 ringing choirs, plus an orchestra.

"Adult Bell Choir Performs at the Regency"

Our Sanctuary Choir - college thru adult, meets on Thursdays at 7:30pm. This choir sings every Sunday.

The Junior Choir - 4^th - 7^th grades meets on Wednesdays at 6:00pm. This choir sings every other month during worship, and puts on two musicals each year.

The Primary Choir - kindergarten - 4^th grade, meets on Wednesdays at 6:00pm. This choir sings every other month, and performs a musical with the Junior twice a year.

The Adult Handbell Choir - college thru adult, meets on Thursdays at 6:00pm. They ring on a regular basis during worship, and from time to time, perform outside the church. We have a five octave set of Schlmerich handbells.

"The Primary and Junior Choirs."

The Choirchime Choir - 5^th - 10^th grades, meets on Wednesdays at 5:00pm. This group rings on a regular basis.

The Church Orchestra meets on special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, and Choir Recognition Sunday. Musicians need to have played their instrument for at least four years.

In addition to the above choirs, we host many musical groups in the Canton area, as well as offer our own concerts.
