Music
is a powerful tool. It has the power to create moods, change
atmospheres, and move people to action. But how does music fit
into the local church? Is it a legitimate means of expression in
the church? Does God desire for music to be a major part of our
corporate worship? We believe He does!
• Music is a means of praise and worship. Psalm
150; Revelation 5:8-10
• Music is a valuable teaching tool. Colossians
3:16
• Music is an evidence of Spirit-filled lives.
Ephesians 5:18-19
• Music is a vehicle for Christian service. Psalm
100:1-2
• Music is an effective way to testify and
express our faith in Christ.
Acts 16:25-30
• Music can be a source of comfort and
encouragement. I Samuel 16:23
In our worship services you will experience a variety of songs
and instruments. All of our songs are carefully chosen, insuring
that they are biblically accurate and will edify believers in
their faith. Words and phrases that would describe our music
are: biblical, worshipful, energetic, spiritual, inspirational,
and full of life!
While we respect and sing the hymns and spiritual songs that
have stood the test of time, we believe the Bible teaches that
praise and worship of God should also include new songs.
• "And they sung a new song, saying...for thou
wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of
every kindred, and tongue,
and people, and nation." Revelation
5:9
• "Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new
song, and his praise in the congregation of saints." Psalm 149:1
The goal of our Music Ministry is to glorify God and minister to
the spirit of individuals, not appeal to the fleshly nature of
people. Our music is not entertainment-driven, but God-centered.
