Join us tonight at 7:00 p.m. for an enjoyable evening of choral music, poetry, prayer, and congregational singing with the 50-member Cornerstone Youth Choir from First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth, Texas! Keep the great tradition of church youth choir tours alive and support them as our own youth choir (Chapel Choir) prepares to leave for their annual tour later this month!

The Cornerstone Youth Choir returns to our church for the first time since 2022. The two churches have a decades-long relationship with hosting one another’s youth choirs when on tour in our home states. We hope you join us!
