Music Ministry
“I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.” (Psalm 104:33) No “command” appears in scripture more than that to praise our Creator. When we love Jesus, we cannot help singing thanks and praise to Him! If God has gifted you with musical talents, please consider investing them here in our worship.
