We all crave creative connection, spaces where we can just be and create with others. It’s a deeply human need, but it’s hard to find low-pressure spaces that help meet that need. That’s why Local Choir exists. This is choir for the modern era, and everyone has a part.
How does it work? We throw a monthly meet-up we call Local Choir Night. This is the “main event” for people to come hang out and sing. We meet monthly at the Local Good Coffee Co. from 6:30-8:30 PM!
Wednesdays 6-7 PM at the Café at Local Good Coffee Co.

Who is Local Choir for?
Local Choir is made up of people from all walks of life, all faith backgrounds, and anyone ages 13 and up. All are welcome here.
Can kids be part of Local Choir?
Yes! Kids age 13 and up are welcome to join the choir! Ages 13-15 need to be accompanied by an adult to any choir events (the adult needs to be in the building, so they can hang out in the Local Good Coffee Co. during Local Choir Nights.) Ages 16-17 do not need an adult present, but will need to have a parent sign a waiver.
How much does it cost?
Local Choir is free! Its really simple: show up, sing, belong.
Where does Local Choir meet?
Local Choir meets at the Café at Local Good Coffee Co. (201 Legacy Dr.)
Is Local Choir faith-based?
Nope, but we were started by some church people. We sing all types of music, some songs are faith-based, and some are not. We believe that music transcends barriers and taps into our deepest humanity, which connects us all.
Do I need to be able to read music?
No! Local Choir is made up of people with varying musical skill. Some folks are hard-core musicians, some used to sing “way back in the day”, and some are brand new to music.
How do I learn the songs?
If you're on the email list for Local Choir, you will receive a Dropbox link with all the music for the next Local Choir Night. This will include lyrics, sheet music, and mp3 of all the vocal parts. Learn whichever part you feel most comfortable with (Melody, HI, or LO.) Get on the email list here.
Who leads Local Choir?
I'm a choir kid. Always have been, always will be. There is something about choir singing that makes my soul come alive. Its deeply human and yet transcendent—all at the same time. It's magic. When we breathe together and sing together, our barriers fall away, our differences seem a little smaller, and our humanity shines a little brighter.
How can I help lead Local Choir?
We are a volunteer-led group. Wendy Child leads Local Choir, but it is run in large part by its own members. Whatever your skills or gifting, there is a place for you to lead the choir! Contact Wendy to see how you can get involved in leadership! wchild@chaseoaks.org.
