| Music Ministries |
We have an extensive music program under the leadership of our Minister of Music, Mary Ann Rochenbach. The music programs help to create a meaningful worship experience at all of our services. In addition, there are special Musical gifts to the community presented periodically throughout the year. A Power of Praise service is usually presented at the 11:30 service on the second Sunday of each month. The Power of Praise is a service of Word and Music only.
