Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness; come into God's presence with singing!     Psalm 100:1-2

As a church, we strive to express our love for God, each other and the world. The Music Ministry plays an important role in helping us accomplish this goal. At Hope, we have many ways to make a joyful noise to the Lord! Our worship music is “blended,” employing the old and the new, the traditional and the contemporary, all in the praise of God.

The Music Ministry of Hope is open to people of all ages and experience levels. More than 200 people are involved in 14 musical organizations for children, youth and adults. The Adult Choir rehearses from August through June, and all other musical groups rehearse from September through May. Vocal and instrumental ensembles are featured in worship throughout the year, with music ranging from gospel to the classics.
