  • Children: 1st - 6th grades

There is a place for everyone in music ministry. We spend time in preparation, fellowship and praise as we learn music that honors and exalts the Lord!

A Word From the Minister of Music

Let me share a personal word about our music ministry and why you are important. We strive to provide a balanced ministry of worship, discipleship, outreach, and fellowship in all we do. Our highest calling is first, to worship - being faithful to praise and to glorify the Lord with those gifts God has given to each of us.

Discovering and developing those gifts are ways of equipping the saints for ministry through rehearsals, music classes, coaching, and hands-on experience. We want to use our talents on the cutting edge of bringing people into God's Kingdom through exciting mission tours and special area-wide events. Fellowship within our music ministry is also crucial, as we minister to the body and share a strong dependence on prayer.

To become involved in one of our music ministries, you may call me at 940-723-2764 or simply come to a rehearsal and we will enroll you "on the spot." There is a place for you!
