Please indicate your area(s) of interest by checking one or more boxes below.

CHANCEL RINGERS: Ensemble that rehearses weekly (September - May) and plays in worship approximately once per month, as well as Christmas Concerts and other events.

SUBSTITUTE RINGERS: Experienced ringers who are willing to substitute on occasion in Chancel Ringers. Sight-reading experience is desired.

GENESIS RINGERS: Classes for BRAND NEW and NEW-ISH ringers that meet on a short-term basis. You'll be added to a mailing list for information about upcoming sessions. No handbell experience or music reading skills needed!

SIGHT-RINGERS: A new drop-in ensemble meeting the first Wednesday of the month from 6:15-6:45pm beginning in October 2025. Designed for new-ish ringers to gain more advanced ringing experience beyond the Genesis Ringers classes, as well as experienced ringers and occasional substitutes who want more chances to ring informally. People with no prior ringing experience, but who do have some experience reading notation (even if it's been a while) are also welcome!
