Music Ministry
Where does our music come from?
Music is one of God’s greatest gifts to His people – a powerful vehicle for uniting the mind and heart in praise to Him. We desire our music to be God-centered, truth-centered, faith-inspiring, and experiential. We seek to preserve the great traditions of Christian music – the great hymns of those who have gone before us; yet, we also seek new ways to express our praise – to sing a new song to the Lord in the language of our own day.
Our music on Sunday mornings is a mix of contemporary and traditional worship music and styles. We greatly value the theological depth, richness, and tradition of the old hymns, and so many of the contemporary songs we sing are actually modern adaptations of the old hymn texts.
We don’t want our music to be driven by personal tastes, and so above all we seek to be biblical, God-centered, Christ-centered, experiential, expressing in a balanced way the full-range of focus, emotion and response owed by us to God in corporate worship.
Some of our worship songs may be familiar to you, while others may be completely new. Pastor Matt Foreman has contributed to our times of worship by writing new songs and new melodies to old songs. Other resources from which we have gathered biblical, inspiring worship music are the Indelible Grace Project and Sovereign Grace Music. When we sing hymns to their traditional tunes, the songbook we use is the Trinity Hymnal.
Ekklesia Hymns
Pastor Matt has been influenced over the years by the Modern Hymn Movement and desires to bring the timeless truths of the old hymn texts to the modern day.
Matt’s album, Ekklesia Hymns, is now on sale for digital download. If you would like to sample his music or purchase his songs, you can click the image to the right.
