Music & Worship

Worship is the Christian’s lifelong joy and privilege. Simply put, worship is giving our best to God for who He is and what He has done. We accomplish this by reminding ourselves that music in itself is not worship; it is simply a God-given tool we use to express our feelings and gratitude back to God.

Perhaps one of the greatest descriptions of true worship is Psalm 100:

Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving thanks.

¹Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

² Worship the LORD with gladness;
       come before him with joyful songs.
³ Know that the LORD is God.
       It is he who made us, and we are his;
       we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving
       and his courts with praise;
       give thanks to him and praise his name.
⁵ For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
       his faithfulness continues through all generations

CHILDREN'S CHOIRS

We believe that the worship of our God is to be taught at the youngest of ages. We have four children’s choirs that range all the way from the preschool age up to the sixth grade. Each choir is led weekly by a caring and loving director and additional assistants. They present special music in several Sunday night services throughout the year.

STUDENT CHOIR

Seventh through twelfth grade students are invited to be a part of the Student Choir. Teenagers will learn mainly modern and current styles of musical worship and may occasionally present a student-based musical. This choir prepares weekly and consistently presents special music for Sunday night services.

ADULT WORSHIP CHOIR

It is our strong conviction that the choir functions as a team of worship leaders and singers - not merely as backup singers. The Worship Choir rehearses each week to assist the Music & Worship Pastor and lead the congregation by giving thanks and praise to the Lord. They also prepare weekly to share Spirit-filled choir-based songs. (see Nehemiah 12:27-43)

WORSHIP BAND

The Worship Band functions as a team of worship leaders that lead both instrumentally and vocally. The Worship Band rehearses each week to assist the Music & Worship Pastor in leading the congregation in authentic worship. They work hard to bring the church songs of praise that are fresh, relevant, and meaningful. (see Psalm 33:3)

Band Rehearsal Times:

Wednesday - 7:30 pm - 9 pm

Sunday - 7:15 am

EASTER WORSHIP PRODUCTION

The Music & Worship Ministry normally presents some type of Easter worship production in the spring. In this event, many of our church members come together in a united effort to bring the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to our surrounding region through music and drama. Though it is not done every single year, it is an amazing demonstration of the people of God working together to bring the message of God’s love and forgiveness to the community.
