Choristers Guild Institute

Look at this! Current & past leaders & attendees of CHORISTERS GUILD INSTITUTE at PAM’s Montreat Worship & Music Conference in July. This group spans CGI’s first year (2009) to the current session (2026). Connections made & strengthened. 🎶

Look at this! Three CG Institute graduates on faculty at Massanetta Springs Music Conference this week: JENNY KIRKBRIDE (CGI 2025), JULIANNE ERBRECHT (CGI 2019) & EMILY FLOYD (CGI 2012)

CGInstitute '26: A few pics from Worship on Day 1 & 2 - LOVE IN COMMUNITY and LOVE AT THE MANGER. Scriptures were 1) story of 4 friends helping their friend get to Jesus for healing THRU THE ROOF and 2) the NATIVITY. See the Tableaus - a perfect way to make Bible stories come alive for children and teens..and always we sing.

Such a joy to teach with and learn from these folks at CGInstitute 2026 this week.

When a CGInstitute faculty member lives in Chattanooga… he brings Moon Pies to class! Thanks, Vic Oakes for all your contributions to Choral Methods, Conducting & special topic workshops. Great week of learning.

A great opening Day 1 at CG Institute 26.
