GCC Choir “Sings!”

Led by the energetic AJ Coppola, our vibrant choir at The Gilford Community Church not only brings fabulous music to each of the services, but a great deal of camaraderie amongst the group itself.

"I grew up at the Gilford Community Church and it has been such a joy to lead the choir here for ten years. It's a great pleasure to come to rehearsal every week and make music with your friends. We are more than a community of singers, we're a family," said Coppola.

During the 2024-2025 season, the GCC Choir performed 34 Anthems as a group, averaging 20 dedicated singers each week. For the upcoming 2025-2026 season, they are gearing up for another fantastic year that will include the following special pieces:

December 14 – “The Dream Isaiah Saw” by Glenn Rudolph, a choir singer's favorite, this piece will be accompanied by organ, percussion and brass quintet. 

January 19 – “A Vision Unfolding” by Kyle Pederson, a five-movement piece for chorus, violin, trumpet and percussion with themes of peace and the ideals of Martin Luther King, Jr.
​
June 7 – “Illuminare” by Elaine Hagenberg, five-movement work with chorus and string orchestra with a theme of light through the darkness.

If you are interested in joining the choir, please email the church office ([email protected]) for more information or stop by after Sunday service or rehearsal, most of which take place on Thursdays from 6-7 pm in the Sanctuary. “All are welcome, just like the church,” added Coppola.
