Children & youth Music

Children’s and Youth Music at PCCT fosters education, worship, and fellowship for our vibrant children’s population and adult parishioners alike. Children’s Music plays an integral role in many of the happenings at PCCT.

No experience needed for any musical ensemble – our Director of Children’s Music, Caitlyn Huetz, will foster a love of music in your children while teaching them the basics of singing and ringing. Kids are also welcome to participate in seasonal ensembles such as those for Christmas Eve and Easter if they can’t commit to a full year. Please contact the church for more information.
