Worship and music are inseparable. The arts are a powerful medium for ministry, providing a vehicle for personal and corporate praise, prayer, and thanksgiving to God. Music speaks what cannot be expressed in words, thus soothing the mind, healing the heart, calming and uplifting the spirit. Music is a gift from God that flows from heaven to the soul. However great or small your talents, there is a place for you in our music ministry.
If you took a break from music and are ready to come back, if you have never rung a bell or sung in a choir before Jennifer looks forward to glorifying God’s name with you. If you have any questions, contact the church office so that you can get in contact with Jennifer.
Bell Choir

Instrumentalists
There are Senior Choir anthems that sometimes have an accompaniment part that require various instrumentation (violin, trumpet, flute, drum, clarinet, etc); if you would be interested in accompanying the Senior Choir on a particular instrument—please let me know what instrument it is that you play and what level you play at (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
