OUR MISSION

To proclaim the word of God through music. The music ministry is not an object to be admired so much as an instrument to teach, comfort, inspire, motivate and lift up the spoken word of God.

In addition to our Sunday morning services, our music ministry, directed by Chris Moore, organizes events throughout the year, bringing in a variety of musical talent from near and far.

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
— Ephesians 5: 19-20

Handbell Choir

The sound of bells and chimes ringing in our sanctuary is a blessing and joy to all.  Handbell rehearsal is weekly during season when pieces are prepared for holidays, special events and at least one worship service per month.

We were honored to have the Golden Gates dancers in our sanctuary as a part of our 2022 concert series. The audience came alive and the atmosphere truly felt like being at an authentic Russian folk festival!
