Choir
Choirs meets at the church on Wednesday evenings – 7:00 PM
The adult choir is an integral part of most Sunday worship services. In addition to hymns the choir presents a weekly anthem and leads the congregation in choral responses. In addition, the choir has special presentations at Christmas and at Easter.
The choir meets weekly on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM at the church except for July and August. There is a choir retreat the last week in September and the choir members plan a variety of social events throughout the year. This a great group of folks so come sing with us or come and hear us, whichever is your thing to do.
Church of the Foothills incorporates a wide range of music and worship styles – from traditional to contemporary and beyond.

Hearts and Minds
A group that exchanges time listening and sharing, secure in confidentiality and without advice or judgment. This kind of listening and speaking can be a healing practice for reclaiming our own good hearts and can get our brains out of ruts caused by old hurts we’ve experienced. We are building community and transforming the way we interact with the world.

Join the Soup Kitchen crowd as we prepare and serve lunch at our local soup kitchen, Southwest Community Center, on the fifth Sunday of the month!
