Music and Worship
The purpose of our music ministry at Calvary Baptist Church is to enable the entire congregation to worship the King of Kings, our Savior and Lord, with a focus to
bring all closer to Him. With this in mind, we have many opportunities to serve the Lord with music.
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;
Declare among the peoples His deeds.
- Psalm 9:11
Adult choir
This choir practices once a week and presents a musical selection at the morning worship service almost every week. This group is open to high school students and
older. A cantata is presented each year at Christmas time. This group also sings annually at our community Thanksgiving Eve service and Good Friday service
Young Voices Choir
This children’s choir is for those aged 4 – 8th grade. They practice once a week and sing in the morning service once a month or so. Besides singing, this group
also prepares musical selections using handbells. Skits and/or musicals are often incorporated in their ministry. They also sing at Kade Nursing Home twice a year.
Offertory
Talented youth and adults are given the opportunity to serve the Lord by presenting offertory selections. We have musicians gifted on piano, flute, trumpet,
French horn, clarinet, guitar, and more.
Special Music
Many serve the Lord in our music ministry through the presentation of solos, duets, trios, or quartets. Besides the choir, there is usually a special music selection
at each morning service.
Worship Team
This group consists of a worship leader and singers, as well as instrumentalists who lead the congregation in a musical time of worship. The worship is a blend of hymns, choruses, and newer worship music.
God has ascended with a shout,
The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with a skillful psalm.
- Psalm 47:5-7
