Music Ministry

God created us for WORSHIP!

Jesus died to give us the privilege of coming into God’s presence to worship.  In His presence, our spirit can commune with God’s Spirit, and His Spirit communes with us.  Everything we believe and everything we do as a church, or as individuals, comes out of worship.  It’s there, that we hear His voice and receive his power to carry out His call on our lives.

Because worship is God’s idea, we must enter into it God’s way.  He has given us the amazing gift of music and has commanded us to

come in His presence with singing and praise Him with instruments!

The Music Ministry of Ivy Creek exists to equip every believer to respond to God with heart-felt, Spirit empowered singing, accompanied by skillfully played instruments.

God has called many of you to become a vital part of the Music Ministry here at Ivy Creek.  Some are called to sing in the choir, some to play instruments, and others to train children, students, and adults to lead worship.  If you have ever thought that you might like to be involved in the Worship Arts Ministry here at Ivy Creek that was probably God speaking to you! We would like to encourage you to browse through the following links, or contact me to discover how you can obey God’s call to serve through Music Ministry.
