Music

Statement of Purpose

Music is an important means of worship expression within our church community. We encourage all who join us for worship to sing with us regardless of ability as our congregational singing is a testimony of our belief and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Through singing, we express our praise and thanksgiving to God, we learn and internalize His word, we teach and admonish each other in the faith, and we proclaim His great name to the world. The instruments used in our worship are intended to honor God through skillful creation of sound and to support singing within the church. It is our hope that God is proclaimed through all elements of our worship service, especially our music.

Choirs

Our choirs exist to glorify God by singing praise to Him, encouraging congregational singing, and skillfully sharing songs of the faith in a way that demonstrates the creativity God has bestowed on us. While rehearsals develop musical presentation skills and emphasize meaning of the texts we sing as related to God’s word, they also foster a caring community of support for one another.
