The Chancel Choir sings God's messages and praises at 11 AM on Sundays throughout the school year, on special Bethel occasions, and at ecumenical events in the community. Several choir members sing with the Roane County Choral Society, and one choir member sings with the Knoxville Opera. Choir members often offer solos and other special music. Anyone who loves to sing will find a warm, enthusiastic welcome from Laura, Mary Ann and the choir.

About Laura Walker, Choir Director: Laura Walker has been Bethel's Choir Director for over 20 years.
About Mary Ann Hensley, Accompanist: Mary Ann has been Bethel's accompanist since 1990.
The Chancel Choir is accompanied by three major instruments: a new pipe organ (1997), piano, and clavinova (an electronic keyboard with multiple voice capabilities). In addition, the music program is blessed with solo performances on the trumpet, clarinet, harp and flute. Throughout the year, Bethel enjoys Sunday morning offerings from our Bell Choir. Summer is our time for special music which often features solos and guest performers. Bethel's style of music is traditional; however, the many talents of our gifted members allow for variety.
