The purpose of our music ministry is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through song, encourage believers in their walk with Christ, lead the congregation in worship and provide an avenue through which individuals may share their gift and be an integral part of the worship.
If you have the basic ability to sing "on pitch" and a willing, generous spirit, then you are qualified to sing in one of our choirs. If you are not sure, just ask!
