Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir is the adult choir of the First United Methodist Church, Downers Grove. It provides music each week for the 11:00am service and performs two cantatas each year at Christmas and in the spring. New members are most cordially invited!
The Chancel Choir goals are to:
- Provide music for Christ-centered worship that stimulates the hearts and minds of singers and congregation.
- Provide service opportunities for singers to give of their talents to the church community.
- Include a variety of choral styles of quality choral literature which accommodate the talents and limitations of the choir membership.
- Feature anthems and responses that address sermon themes and liturgical seasons.
- Provide two special services (cantatas and themed programs) annually.
- Provide a supportive, friendly social community for choir members.
Please join us at one of our services on Christmas Eve as we celebrate Jesus' birth. There are several services to choose from. 
Gather your friends and family to come enjoy the Chancel Choir Christmas Cantata presenting the popular John Rutter Gloria with exciting brass ensemble and organ.
