Traditional Music Ministries

Do you love music?
The gift of music is a ministry that touches so many and celebrates the Lord. Everyone is welcome — from the trained vocalist to the occasional singer. The choirs and orchestras perform at the 11:00am traditional Sunday service, as well as occasional special services at church and out in the community.
