Resources & Learning
We are able to assist churches wishing to plant Choir Church with resources around all aspects of this ministry.
Establishing a choral culture in your school
Designing services using excellent music, liturgy and teaching to speak particularly to children and families
Community Organising and its mission, both to grow disciples and to work for justice with those of all faiths and none.
We have a resource pack for churches wishing to establish Choir Church. We can also meet with you via zoom or in person to discuss the next steps.
Learning Community
Our monthly Learning Community brings together clergy, teachers, musicians, church wardens and volunteers, offering training, resources and discussion around key areas, including:
Planning and delivering musical teaching
Pedagogical methods based on best practice as can be found in Cathedral Chorister training
Methods to help teach the Christian faith to children
Devices to help community organising emerge alongside children’s deepending of faith
Building a team which ensures the sustainability of Choir Church
Safeguarding and ensuring a healthy culture and environment in which children and families are able to flourish
The Learning Community is open to all churches which subscribe to Choir Church.
