This role is ideal for those who are musically gifted, centered on the gospel, who love the church, and who believe strongly in congregational singing.
By God’s grace, visitors often comment on the strength of the congregational singing when they attend a service. We aim to be a church that follows the pattern of Exodus 15:1, when “the people of Israel sang to the LORD, saying, ‘I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously.’” We praise him through song because he has saved us through Christ. Thus we’re seeking a man who will help lift our voices in joyful worship to our Triune God.
