Musical Standards
We strive for excellence and not perfection in our worship to God. We know that with pure motives and pure hearts, any sound we make is glorious to God, but we also want to be culturally relevant and bibilically sound in producing aquality sound that will essentially allow us to “disappear” and be transparent as we lead our congregation into worship to encounter God.
