Oak Grove is known for its outstanding choral program. Through the years, Oak Grove choirs have been invited to numerous state, regional and national conventions. In addition to tours and concerts on campus, Oak Grove choirs appear regularly before church and civic groups, and on radio and television. Oak Grove choirs perform a wide variety of inspirational and sacred music, proclaiming God’s glory by expressing faith through songs of joy and inspiration. Oak Grove’s annual Christmas Concert celebrates the glory of Christ’s birth, and draws hundreds to the much-loved event.
Oak Grove students now have the opportunity to perform in a space designed specifically for the fine arts. The Scheels Center for the Performing Arts was completed in 2007 with two rehearsal halls, practice rooms, instrument storage and a large performance hall.
