The goal of our music ministry is to set an atmosphere where
young and old can worship the Lord together in unity of spirit. Music is "the language of the soul." Words and grammar communicate ideas. But music
communicates emotions - what cannot be expressed with words. Music can convey joy, happiness, peace, love, gratitude, unity, order, and harmony. Or,
it can communicate disorder, division, rebellion, hate, sensuousness, and lust. All these can be communicated in the language of music, without a
single word being uttered. We believe the message that our instrumental music conveys to the soul must agree with the ideas being communicated to the mind
by the lyrics. Music must nudge people towards the "fruit of the Spirit," not the "works of the flesh."
We have three biblical goals for our music:
