Q: What is the music like?
A: Our music is refreshing, powerful, and traditional. Our congregational singing is straight from the hymn book and we sing all the great songs of the faith. We strive to provide music in our services
that pleases the Lord and we do our best to conform to the music principles found in verses such as Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
