Traditional Worship Arts
Traditional Worship Praise Team
The Praise Team leads the praise songs and hymns at the beginning of the Traditional
Celebration. If you are interested in lending your talent as a vocalist please contact the
church office by phone (509) 525-1870 or email church@pioneerww.org.
Chancel Choir
In a time when traditional choirs are a dying breed, Pioneer’s Chancel Choir continues to
provide vital, high quality anthems for the Traditional Celebration. Director Ronda
Gabbard is a music teacher in the Walla Walla School District and has vast experience
with music in worship. Every section of the group has leaders with trained voices, who
help others with less training. The group rehearses at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evenings,
except during the summer. Anyone who loves to sing and can carry a tune is welcome.
Women’s Ensemble
Several times each year, the Women’s Ensemble provides special music for the
Contemporary and Traditional Celebrations. The group often rehearses on Sunday
evenings. Linda Howell, a retired music teacher, is director. If you are interested in
joining the Women’s Ensemble please contact the church office by phone (509)
525-1870 or email church@pioneerww.org.
Handbell Choir
The Handbell Choir provides a special flavor to music ministry at Pioneer. It shares its
musical gifts several times each year with those in the Traditional Celebration. The
ethereal sound of their ringing often draws worshippers into a unique sense of God’s
presence. The group rehearses on Monday evenings under the direction of Linda Howell.
If you are interested in ringing bells please contact the church office by phone
(509) 525-1870 or email church@pioneerww.org.
