Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, Praise His Name; proclaim His salvation day after day.
Psalm 96:1-2

"...that He may refine those called as Christian musicians to serve as
role models in worship and ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

Worship enrichment, spiritual growth, Christian music education, fellowship, and proclamation of our faith: All abound as growth opportunities for those who serve in the Music Ministry of Christ Church. We are committed to offering enriching experiences in ministry, which emphasize training and nurturing of the individual. The Music Ministry Reaches Up, in worship, and Reaches Out in Christian love, to all who come seeking a deeper relationship with Christ.
