Music in our
Church
In order to allow the word of Christ to
dwell in us more richly and in all wisdom, we provide several
opportunities to teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns,
and spiritual songs as we sing with grace in our hearts to the
Lord.
Congregational Singing
Far too often are the pews of the
church regarded as spectator seats where we can sit back and enjoy a
‘spiritual show’ which is performed by others. Such passivity in
worship is as unbiblical as it is unedifying.
The whole congregation is to be
actively engaged in the worship of God from the beginning of the
service until the benediction.
While some elements of worship are
performed by the Minister on behalf of God, it is the responsibility
and privilege of every member of the congregation to respond to
God’s grace through song.
Therefore, we encourage the
congregation to do their part in public worship by singing praise to
God with excitement, excellence, and
understanding.
Note of Praise
While we do not allow ‘solos’ or
‘specials’ in the service of public worship, we do acknowledge the
spiritual benefits of such and have provided an opportunity for
members to bless the congregation musically after our weekly
fellowship meal.
For more information about this
ministry, please contact the coordinator Elder
Baldridge.
Hymn Sing
Every week we sing your favorite hymns
by request at 1:30 pm.
Pastor McShaffrey also hosts occasional
informal hymn sings at his home.
King’s Choir
This is an occasional family choir
which ministers in the community and nursing homes. If you are
interested in joining, please contact the director Elder Baldridge.
