Mount Olive Choir
The Mount Olive Choir is for adults and high school aged young adults. This choir meets weekly on Wednesday nights, usually beginning at 7:30 PM. All are invited to sing - and enjoy this fun and dynamic group! (Meets Sept.- May.)

In April 2010, the Mount Olive Choir, with orchestral accompaniment, performed Faure's Requiem. You can view a couple movements from the performance by clicking on the following links:

• Introitus & Kyrie
• Sanctus
• Offertorium

Bell Choir
"Glory Bells" is our hand bell choir for adults. This group meets every Thurs. night at 7:30. The bells play about once a month. The only prerequisite for this ensemble is that you have basic music reading skills. Hand bells are a unique and beautiful instrument that almost anyone can pick up and play. (Meets Sept. - May)

Children's Music
Finally, children are a very important part of worship and music at Mount Olive. The children's choirs meet seasonally, and usually prepare music for special festivals, like Christmas and Easter. Please contact Jon if you want to learn more.
