A personal message from Chris
Prefer to see how this works?
I’ll walk you through it in about 10 minutes.
You pick music… and halfway through rehearsal, you realize:
“This doesn’t actually work for my choir.”
So you adapt. Week after week, you:
Simplify parts. Reassign lines. Lower expectations. You rewrite parts. Cover missing voices. Improvise on the fly — just to make worship happen. And next week? You do it all over again.
At some point, it starts to feel like:
"Nothing really works anymore."
"I'm constantly adjusting just to hold things together."
"It's hard to find music that works well for my group."
And on top of that… recruiting new singers?
That's been difficult too.
You think...
"People aren't joining."
"It's hard to grow!"
"Who's really going to show up this week?"
"I don't know what actually works anymore!"
And after a while... it's not just frustrating. It just feels defeating. Because no matter how much effort you put in—it still feels like you're climbing uphill every week.
Because you care deeply about your choir—and sometimes it feels like you’re carrying the weight of keeping it alive without a clear path forward.
You may even think to yourself:
"Is this just how choirs are now?"
"Or is it just me?"
You're not doing anything wrong.
You’re leading in a landscape that’s changed beneath your feet—where the music that you once trusted doesn't fit like it used due to aging or unbalanced voices, recruiting singers feels incredibly difficult, and attendance is unpredictable.
You're carrying a lot more emotional and mental weight than you used to
You're settling for "good enough" more often than you'd like to admit
You're making countless behind-the-scenes adjustments that no one notices
The mental load — planning, selecting, rehearsing, organizing — is exhausting
Your choir is smaller than it used to be.
Attendance is inconsistent.
Which means the old playbook simply doesn't fit the reality you're leading in today.
This isn’t about working harder—it’s about working differently.

About CHRIS
I've spent 25 years serving in church music ministry, working with choirs of every size, from small churches with choirs made up of just a handful of individuals to larger congregations with choirs made up of 120+ singers. Along the way, I've composed music specifically designed for smaller choirs, because I know firsthand how hard it is to find repertoire that actually works when your choir is small and unbalanced.
Today I serve as Classic Worship Director at First Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs, where I lead our Classic Worship Ministry and Sanctuary Choir. The Choir Growth Lab is built entirely from what I've learned... the real strategies, the music that works, and the community I wish I'd had when working with smaller choirs.
"You don't have to figure this out alone. That's exactly why I built this."
With the right music, right strategies, right support, and people who truly understand this season of ministry — your choir can grow, thrive, and sound wonderful! You don't have to figure this out alone anymore.
