Kingdom Seekers Reprise 2025-2026
Come join us as Kingdom Seekers Choral and Drama Troupe resumes classes, September 12th at 2:15, 6070 Indian River Road, Ste 100!
WHO may participate? – Homeschooling students in Tidewater 10 years and older who have the desire to sing and minister with others to God’s glory!
WHAT is KINGDOM SEEKERS – Kingdom Seekers started in 1987 as a choral and drama troupe for homeschoolers in the home of Deb and Don Plaster. Wanting to give a musical experience to their children, Deb started her adventures in music and drama, which have endured throughout the years. We learn singing and vocal techniques, music theory, music history, acting prompts, and most importantly, how to use our gifts and talents to magnify our Lord Jesus Christ. We offer ministry events and seasonal concerts that enhance the family and homeschooling community.
WHAT is the COST? $25 per student per month $40 for 2 $ 55 for 3!
WHERE do we practice? 6070 Indian River Road, Ste 100, a few doors from Moore Expressions homeschooling bookstore!
WHEN does KINGDOM SEEKERS rehearse? Fridays 2:15 to 3:30pm.
WHY music? Music is restorative to spirit, soul, and body! Music is unifying, bridging age, culture, and education! Music is creative, revealing the deepest desire to produce beauty and bless our great Creator God!
If you are interested in joining Kingdom Seekers, text Deb Plaster 757-287-2208 with your name, contact info, and the names and ages of your children! Registration and media release forms will be available on the first day at the 100!
