Led by Derek Martin, director of music and church organist, Bethany’s Chancel Choir is comprised of twelve talented singers. All singers are local professional musicians and/or music educators, many being graduates of Millersville University. Each week, the choir comes together to sing an anthem that emphasizes that week’s gospel reading through their gift of music. They also present two major services per season, providing an added musical experience around both the Christmas and Easter holidays. The choir performs both contemporary and classical sacred music, exhibiting an extraordinary listening experience for the congregation each week.
