Wilshire Baptist Church: Adult Choirs & Ensembles


Sanctuary Choir The Sanctuary Choir is Wilshire's primary adult choral group, rehearsing weekly and singing weekly in Sunday morning worship. This is a volunteer group of male and female singers who love making a contribution through music.
New Song--Senior Adult Choir New Song, Wilshire's senior adult choir is a fairly new choir that was formed in the Fall of 2005. It is directed by Wilshire's music associate Sarah Stafford. Since its inception, it has grown to a membership of nearly 60 singers. Membership in this choir is open to the community and includes many people who are members of other churches besides Wilshire. Most of the membership are in their 60's, 70's and 80's.
Nova vocal ensemble The Adult Music Ministry currently offers one vocal ensemble, in addition to Sanctuary Choir. Nova is a 10-member auditioned ensemble directed by Doug Haney. It provides a more intense, challenging choral experience for singers.
Carillon Ringers The Carillon Ringers is Wilshire's adult handbell group. This 12-member group, under the direction of Sarah Stafford, plays mainly a 5-octave set of handbells, but can play up to 7 octaves. Handchimes are also utilized. The Carillon Ringers play once a month in both morning worship services, and also participate in handbell workshops and other playing occasions.
Wilshire Winds Membership is open to all ages and playing abilities on brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. You do not have to be a member of the church to join our group.
