Music Programs

Our Music Programs are dedicated to the worship, praise, and adoration of the Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.  Such worship, praise and adoration is empowered by the Holy Spirit to the glory of God. 

Anne Ortlund in her book, Up With Worship writes,
“A living church (small or large, traditional or not) is a contemporary one; it isn’t trying to be twenty years ahead – strained and strange. It isn’t content to be twenty years behind – musty and dusty. A living church gathers up all of its age groups and says, "Come! In this precious, unique, ‘now’ time, let’s all together go hard after God!’"

This is what our music programs are all about:  To gather up everyone and expand the kindgom of God through our worship and our witness.  Music opportunities are listed below.
