Worship & Music Ministry
Worship & Music Statement
The Bible tells us to praise God with everything we have (Psalm 150) and the Worship & Music Ministry is designed to do just that.
A variety of vocal, instrumental, and dramatic groups meet weekly to learn and do ministry through music and the arts. Groups are provided for ages 4 years through senior adults. Additional opportunities for study, recording, productions and mission trips are also included in this ministry.
