The Role of Music in the Liturgy

Music at Christ Church is held in high esteem.  In fact, it is viewed as a ministry.  It brings worshipers into relationship with God and helps them express their adoration of and prayers to Him.  To this end, instruments and voices sound forth in our devotion and praise. We strive for excellence.  Only our best if good enough.
