THE MUSIC MINISTRY

The Music Ministry of Central Christian Church functions to provide musical leadership for the people of God in the worship of God. Through the various musical opportunities available to our congregation we seek to involve all who wish to devote themselves to regular rehearsal in order to offer our best musical offering to God and to the work of the church through worship and service.

This choir of volunteers and paid section leaders presents a wide variety of sacred choral literature in weekly worship from September through July and presents seasonal cantatas during Advent and on Palm Sunday.
