Music&FineArts

"For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what you have done. I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands."
-Psalm 92:4

Music is an integral part of worship. The dedicated singers, instrumentalists, dramatists and technicians of the Fine Arts Department regularly commit themselves to worship the Lord "in Spirit and in Truth." Our joy is enhanced by helping to lead others in experiencing God through genuine worship.

Our styles vary from contemporary to classical and our personnel from the professional to the dedicated amateur. There is always a place for the person who sincerely wishes to minister through the art with which God has gifted them. It would be a joy to share this ministry with you. For information on any of these opportunities for ministry, contact .
