YOUTH CHOIR
Music is powerful. It can help heal. It can overcome cultural barriers. And it can change a person’s mood.
Music is not a neutral medium – it is a language with emotive power for good or evil. Therefore musicians will choose music that is in keeping with Biblical principles. It is important to note that music styles also are not neutral. They are value laden, and they require careful evaluation for use in worship.
Music is one of the greatest gifts God has given to His children. a gift that has threaded its way through the very history of this planet. This gift was evident:Worship at our church is filled with music, which draws the worshipper ever closer to God. The planning and implementation of special music involves fervent prayer.
At creation when the ‘Morning Stars sang together.’ (Job 38:7) When Israel burst into song at their final deliverance at the far shores of the Red Sea. (Exodus 15) God Himself is described as a musician ‘rejoicing over us with singing.’ (Zephaniah 3:17)

Reveal a compatibility between the message conveyed by the words and the music, avoiding a mixture of the sacred and the profane. (Eph. 4:29) Give precedence to the message of the text which should not be overpowered by accompanying musical elements. (Gospel Workers, pp. 357, 358)
