Music

Through music, we urge all who gather to offer joyful praises to the Lord. At the heart of worship are hymns, sung by the largest “choir” (you—the congregation) led by a choir, the pipe organ and/or other instruments. Our musicians’ goal is to bring glory to God and to be an encouragement to fellow worshippers. Hymns, anthems, and voluntaries are drawn from both a vast inherited wealth of musical expressions and from the best of newer compositions.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;
make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing,
with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn— shout for joy before the Lord, the King.
Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
