Music Ministry
Our Mission: To glorify our God through beautiful music coupled with rich truths from scripture. With thankfulness in our hearts to God, we desire to sing and play with excellence so that we may worship Him. We are commanded to sing His praise, and through the use of our orchestra, band, choir, and many other ensembles we seek to obey that command.
Col 3:15 – Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Children’s Music Ministry
Music is an effective tool that helps us memorize and contemplate Scripture. That’s why we use it so often in our Children’s Music Ministry. In each of our concerts, programs, and other yearly events, we seek to use music to help us unpack deep truths from God’s Word.

Song Selection
Carefully selecting songs is crucial for our ministry to build a catalog of excellent songs for our congregation. Music and lyrics go hand in hand, but the truths from God’s word must be well represented in the songs that we sing. Here is how we filter our songs to see if they’re fit for our congregation:
To start, we read the lyrics. If the song goes against biblical truths, we cannot use it at church as it would blatantly lead our sheep astray. We also strive to avoid bad wording or vague phrases that don’t actually say anything. Once we have great lyrics, then we check the music. We want our music to be excellent for the glory of God. A song with amazing lyrics might be coupled with a less than singable tune, so sometimes great lyrics can be hindered by large note ranges or bad accompaniment. The music is still very important as we carefully consider it and see if it’s a good fit!
This process has been helpful in making sure that we do not accept “okay” lyrics just because of a beautiful arrangement, or on the contrary, slump into thinking that music does not matter as long as the words are good. Our songs should be the best of both rich biblical truths and wonderful music, which when paired together, can be used greatly to glorify our great and mighty Lord.
