Through music and fellowship our adult music program works to fulfill our church mission: to know and follow Christ and to help others know and follow Christ. As part of the music ministry, your talents will be put to good use to enhance our worship, our community, and our lives. The fellowship you experience with other musicians in these ensembles will help you grow in your faith as we praise God together.
