Music Programs
The Music Work Area is a full-time ministry utilizing special God-given talents to aid us in our Worship experiences. The beauty of His Spirit is provided to us through the vocal and instrumental sounds of our many choirs and soloists. Stringed and wind instruments, as written in the Psalms, lift our spirits. Many hours are given each week in preparation for the worship experience in music, not only in the approximately 10 hours of rehearsals, but also in the selection and planning of the pieces to be used, their order of presentation, and their message in concert with the spoken word.
