The choir is open to anyone who enjoys singing a wide variety of sacred music to a high standard (or who’d like to learn). We’re part of the congregation at St John’s – quite a few of our singers contribute to other aspects of church life – but we recognise that we’re called to a ministry providing music that integrates with, and enhances, our worship. We practice on Wednesday evenings (8.15-9.45pm) in term time, and sing at most Sunday services through the year. Of course, not all of our (currently) 15 singers can make every practice and services – most have busy lives with other commitments – so we operate an ‘availability’ scheme indicating which services/practices you can make.

Whether you’re an experienced singer who sight reads, or you’ve always wanted to join a choir but never had the opportunity, the first step is to contact our Director of Music, Ian Church (email music@stjohnswestbyfleet.org.uk or call/text 07860 520686). Usually we’ll invite you to a Wednesday rehearsal, followed by a brief and informal chance to sing a few notes alone (with no audience!).
