What is the purpose of music at this church?

Submitted by Rev. Michael C… on Sat, 04/23/2022 - 22:01

We are careful to remember that all music at our church is to bring glory to God, who is worthy of our praise. Instrumental music (keyboard, organ, guitar, handbells etc.) can express praise in a way that words cannot. The choir sings texts that coordinate with the scripture readings and message of the service.

What kinds of music could I expect to hear?

Our congregation sings form the Presbyterian Hymnal which contains both tradition and contemporary praise hymns.
Our choir sings a variety of traditional Christian music, including spirituals, older church classics and recent publications.
Our handbell choir plays mostly traditional Christian music.
