Worship and music go hand in hand. Psalm 100:2 encourages us to "serve the Lord with gladness; and come before Him with joyful songs." We encourage every believer to actively focus on God and His presence in our world. We provide opportunities for people to learn more of God's character and of His interaction in our lives during rehearsals and in corporate worship settings. We intentionally select musical texts which are doctrinally sound and spiritually uplifting so we can express our faith and worship through music.
We teach preschoolers, children, youth and adults using a variety of musical styles and activities. Our goal is to help each person learn to express their joy and praise to God through music.
Interested persons are enthusiastically invited to join! You do not have to be a church member to belong to any music group. No audition is necessary except as indicated. If joining a vocal group, simply attend the scheduled rehearsals. To play in handbells or orchestra, please notify in advance Ellen Allison ( Music Secretary ) in the church office ( 602 242-6104 ) so that music will be ready for you when you arrive for rehearsal.
