congregational singing
The primary purpose of the Music Ministry is to encourage congregational singing (Col. 3:16) through both traditional hymns and contemporary songs. Our aim is to limit potential distractions for the congregation as they focus their hearts and minds on exalting Christ together through song.
Focused preperation
On Sunday mornings from 8:45-9:30am, our ministry meets for rehearsal. The primary purpose of these times is to work through each song, making sure we can offer skillful accompaniment free of musical blunders, so that our congregation can worship without distraction on Sunday morning.
TRUE COMMUNITY
In the past our ministry has gathered for times of additional theological and musical equipping. These occasion have been held at a member's home and have included a time of teaching and discussion followed by "jam sessions" where we informally enjoyed music together. These nights helped our ministry to become a true community that leads our church in worship each week.
