Worship & Music Ministry

Worship

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deut 6:4-9

“Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness, nourishment of mind by His truth, purifying of imagination by His beauty, opening of the heart to His love, and submission of will to His purpose. All this gathered up in adoration is the greatest of all expressions of which we are capable” - Archbishop William Temple

Our Mission

To inspire hearts towards true spiritual worship in private and corporately, and to offer the highest level of reverence, proficiency and skill in the service of worship.

Our Vision

To uphold Christ centered worship through the Word and Sacrament, drawing worshippers into an encounter with God in reverence and order.

Music

Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy….Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth - he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.”
Psalm 33:3, 12-15
