Music Ministry
Psalm 100 instructs us to “come into God’s presence with singing”. Some variation of that same instruction is found more than 250 times in the Bible. Making music and singing is simply what the people of God do in God’s presence. It’s how we offer God our praise, and is often a form of prayer. Music touches us in ways that the spoken word cannot, and a song or piece of music can stay with us for some time. Here at Bangor First we appreciate the power of music and its ministry.
If you're interested in becoming a member of any of our choirs or you have musical talent to share, please speak to our Music Director, John Haskell.
