Membership and participation in the music program of St. Paul United Methodist Church is open to all who possess a desire to serve God through music and drama. If you are interested in the musical, cultural, social and Christian education opportunities available within this community of faith, please call Richard Burke, Director of Music Ministries, at 672-7814. Church music is different from other forms of music. It is first and foremost a ministry. Church music functions as the medium through which ministry develops.
Music is a witness and an instrument.
As a witness, music provides us with the context of experience and expresses our faith. Creating and recreating sacred music enables us to express our faith as well as enhance our own faith experience. Sacred music as an instrument gives us the means through which spiritual growth, our own and that of others, can occur. Sacred music as a witness and an instrument has several roles within the life of the church. Music helps prepare us for the worship experience.
