Music Ministry
“..when the morning stars sang together…”
Job 38:7
Music was God’s idea..
but you’re invited to join in on the chorus…
You are warmly invited to participate in any aspect of our Music Ministry.
God assigned music a central role in creation from the foundation of the world. No wonder, then, we humans find music indispensable to spirit-filled worship. This applies to all ages and to any stage at which we may be in our spiritual journey. Our ministry therefore features musical opportunities from childhood through the most mature, accomplished musicians.
