Music Ministry
THE WORSHIP SERVICE is a worship of God, not man. Therefore, the Order of Worship is purposed to bring glory to God, not man. The saints’ participation in the worship service is designed for all praise to go to God, not to preachers, musicians, artists, missionaries, church leaders, children, etc. Decorum concerning dress, instrumentation and presentations will assist in disallowing performances and enhance our awareness of God’s admonition: “Let all things be done properly and in an orderly manner.” We rely upon the Holy Spirit to assist us in establishing an environment that encourages and advances your entry into the transforming presence of the living Lord Jesus Christ.
The principle purpose of music in the worship service is to glorify God and to enhance the teaching and proclamation of His Word. Our goal is to select vocal and instrumental music creating an ambiance of reverence and awe – music glorifying the grandeur of the eternal God.
We desire for the congregation to become the choir and for our Triune God to be worshiped. This is accomplished through prayer, preaching and with the singing of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs.
If you have any questions regarding our Music Ministry, please contact our Director of Music.
On Wednesday evenings we have selected this excerpt from a hymn as our closing congregational response doxology:
We are called to be God’s people, showing by our lives His grace,
One in heart and one in spirit, sign of hope for all the race.
Let us show you how He has changed us and remade us as His own;
Let us share our life together as we shall around His throne. Amen.
You will find music instrumental accompaniment here as well as accompaniment with vocal assistance here.
