PERFORMING ARTS

ABOUT US

The performing arts bring joy, creativity, and connection to life at Manhattan Beach Community Church. From our choirs and handbell ensemble to theater programs for children, youth, and adults, there are opportunities for every age and experience level to participate.

Whether you love singing, ringing, acting, helping backstage, or simply cheering others on, you are invited to join in. More than a performance, each program is a chance to learn something new, build friendships, and enjoy being part of a creative community.
