MUSIC & WORSHIP

                   

 

              Rev. Tom Edmonds
      Minister of Music and Worship

Our music and worship ministries provide quality music and drama to enhance our worship services, special events (e.g., Fifth Sunday "singings"), outreach programs, and fellowship events. Whatever your age and whatever your musical or dramatic skill level, we will make every effort to place you in a group where you can use the gifts that God gave you to return praise and glory back to Him. And if you don't feel called to join one of the groups listed below, please know that our congregation is our largest choir!

The musical and dramatic styles we utilize span the gamut from the “old songs” of the early 1900s to the music of great composers such as Bach and Handel to Broadway and even to contemporary songs that might be heard on local Christian radio stations, the latter being heard on Wednesday nights and at the 10:45 “blended” Sunday service.   
 

CHOIRS (primarily vocal music with organ/piano accompaniment; most choirs present seasonal musicals or cantatas, some go on mission tours.)

Chancel Choir (adults; a variety of styles, but mostly standard anthem literature)
Circuit Riders (adults; a range of “gospel” styles; our “traveling ambassadors”)
Spirit Wings (youth, 6^th-12^th grades; mostly contemporary Christian music)
King’s Kids (2^nd – 5^th grades; focus on music education; variety of styles)
Alleluia Angels (3 yr olds – 1^st grade; focus on the love of music and music fundamentals) 

Encounter Praise Team (adults; by audition; mostly contemporary vocal/instrumental music)
One-Way Street (youth; by audition; contemporary vocal/instrumental music)
Men’s and Ladies’ Ensembles (e.g., Men’s quartet; scheduled as needed) 

INSTRUMENTAL GROUPS Jubilation Ringers (adult handbell ensemble; by audition)
Instrumental Ensemble (orchestral instruments; by audition) 

KEYBOARD PLAYERS (those who have skills in piano, organ, or keyboard; scheduled as needed for service music, to supplement choir or congregational music, or to provide instrumental sounds not covered by our instrumental ensemble) 

DRAMA GROUPS Silent Witness (signing choir; interprets music through hand movements; all ages)
Drama Team (any age; scheduled as needed for such events as the Holy Thursday service)

ENSEMBLES (mixed vocal and instrumental groups)
