MUSIC MINISTRY VISION STATEMENT

“Our vision is for the creation of an environment that encourages and enables participants to be equipped to lead the congregation in worship”

MUSIC MINISTRY GOALS:

1. To identify and develop the musical talent of the church

2. To inspire fellow musicians, fellow worship leaders and the congregation through the use of musical talents

3. To bring together the choir, organists, and praise teams in unified expression

4. To provide a variety of instruments/styles with different teams, in order to allow the congregation to fully express praise to our Lord

5. To emphasize a spirit of worship while maintaining musical excellence

6. To allow for spiritual expression in all of its dimensions: thanks, praise, confession, supplication

THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH MUSICIAN is to be a facilitator who leads others in worship, to be a member of a team who senses how his/her part fits into the worship service as a whole, to be one who feels called (God calls us through a variety of means: His Word, prayer, the encouragement of others, etc.) to use his/her musical gifts in the church.
