Serving in Music Ministry
Ephesians 5:19-20 encourages believers to “Speak(ing) to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We recognize that worship is not music alone, but musical offerings and congregational songs are important to our worship of the Lord. Therefore, in our services, we sing songs that fit the genres of Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. We teach our children to sing using their voices to give God praise. We encourage our youth to find their voices and to sing to the Lord through our Chapel Choir for youth. Our adults provide quality leadership in worship through our Sanctuary Choir and our Praise Band. We also help our 55+ adults to realize that their time for making music is not over through our Mellow Brook Singers choir. Our stringed instrumentalists find ways to praise the Lord through using their talents in our band for our second service, as well as woodwind and brass instrumentalists in our first service.
Whatever we do musically, we strive to do it with excellence, offered to God as an act of worship. What a privilege to serve the Lord in this way using our God-given talents for Him! Take a moment to browse the page and find your place in the music ministry of our church. We have space for you!
Get Involved
Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir provides leadership and music for the 9 a.m. worship service each week. Membership is open to ages 18 and up. We sing a variety of literature ranging from spirituals to hymn arrangements to classical anthems. Our rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:15-8:45 p.m. in the Choir Suite. No audition is required, but some knowledge of music and its workings would be helpful to you.

Mellow Brook Singers
The Mellow Brook Singers is a choir for our adults age 55 and up. The primary ministry of this group is to learn music to take outside the walls of our church into our community by singing at nursing homes and assisted living centers. The choir does sing for our worship services twice a year (once in the fall and once in the spring). We take a spring trip as well, much like a small mini-choir tour. Membership is open to anyone above age 55 and no previous choral experience is required. We just enjoy singing about the Lord and sharing that joy with others. Rehearsals are from September through May each year on Thursdays from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the Chapel
Chapel Choir
The Chapel Choir is comprised of youth in grades 7-12. The choir prepares music for worship, and the youth lead in our services about three times a semester. Rehearsals are Sunday afternoons from 5-6 p.m. and follow the school calendar year from September through May. We seek to take a week-long choir tour every other year.
Praise Band
Our praise band is responsible for the congregational music at our 11 a.m. Contemporary Worship Service. The present instrumentation used at this service is acoustic guitar, electric lead, bass, keyboard, and drums. We also need volunteers to run lights and slides.
