Congregational Song

“We can sing our faith for all to hear, but it has to start with the pastoral musician. When we establish a culture of singing our faith with intentionality and discernment led by the Holy Spirit and study, others will begin to trust our message and meet us in praise of God in the context of Christ’s sacrifice. We will sing authentically to God in the presence of our fellow brothers and sisters for all to hear, resonate with, learn from, and remember why it is we became Christians in the first place.”
