Music

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.

Joel has a commitment to teaching as a newly appointed adjunct violin instructor at Cecil College. He is currently in the process of building a music program for local school children at SMA. We are excited about the possiblities and will keep you informed!

 

Choir Director

Alex Bi is our Choir Director. Alex is a classically trained pianist, organist and composer. He is currently a PhD student at the University of Maryland. He is asked to offer his musical abilities to lead our choir. Click to read Alex’s impressive resume.

Our Choir
We believe that singing helps us to express our love towards God with our whole being and is joyful noise to the Lord! Throughout Scripture and in our worship, we are commanded to sing—whether we have talent or not. Or can carry a tune or not. Or have confidence or not. For this reason, there is always room in the choir! Singing is a wonderful way to enhance your personal worship experience.  Any questions about joining us can be quickly answered by Alex or any choir member. Rehearsals follow our 10:00AM Sunday service.

Attention: During this Covid-19 time, we have a Virtual Choir. Participants sing a weekly hymn from the safety of their home, and voices are combined and edited by Alex Bi. To hear our Virtual Choir, please visit our Youtube channel.
