In the Psalms we are exhorted to praise God’s name in song and with instruments. Through our music ministry, members of our congregation participate in making a “joyful noise,” and our congregation is led in worship through inspirational music. Music is a vital and exciting part of the life of this church, and there is a place for you in our music ministry!
Director of Music
Joel Alarcon is our Director of Music. You can read from his impressive resume, that he brings to us a wealth of talent. He is classically trained in the violin, piano, guitar and bass instruments so he brings a unique musical talent to our worship experience. He often incorporates the talents of other musicians to accompany him during worship and it is not unusual for our worship music to include the organ, viola, piano, violin, clarinet, flute and even, the ukulele.
