Music Ministries
Music is an important part of our community at Bethel. We can express ourselves through song (Psalm 71:23) and instrument (Amos 6:5). Our desire is for music to create a deepening faith experience in and through worship at Bethel. Through leadership of different choirs and musical performances we make an attempt to glorify Christ in and through our gift of worship. Through traditional and contemporary worship, as well as special services, our hope is to create a spiritual experience that meets you where you are.
Adult Choir
It is not uncommon to find yourself caught up in something new and vibrant. The Choir continues to grow with new and exciting music as they lead Bethel in worship. You can see our adult choir at our 9:30am service and during our annual Christmas Cantata in December.
Cantata
Our annual Christmas Cantata in December takes place in December. Our Choir guides us through song sharing the story of Jesus coming to earth.
Hymnist
Hymnists are our musical worship leaders. We deeply value our hymnists leadership. Hymnists are available at each service to lead us in our worship songs, both hymns and contemporary songs.
Praise Team
GRACE FLOWS DOWN is directed by Kathy Harrison. In Spring 2004, founding director and former Minister of Music Tam Smith created this magnificent Praise Team to lead our Peace Service. They are filled with enthusiasm, joy, and a great sound. GRACE FLOWS DOWN leads worship on the 3rd Sunday of the month at the 9:30 am service and leads worship for special services as well.
Sounds of Joy
Sounds of Joy is directed by Deloris Delapp. Founded in 2012, Sounds of Joy is an instrumental group composed of musicians from all ages & levels of ability from beginners to music majors. Members perform solos, in duets, trios, quartets, small ensembles and may accompany vocal music groups. General group practice is held on the fourth Sunday of each month & additional practices before performances as needed. This group welcomes any musician, who has had at least one year of experience, to join at any time.
Handbell Choir
Handbell choir is directed by Doris Freund. Under Doris’ leadership, Handbell choir has been a consistent part of our music offering since 2016 on a small scale to enhance the season of Advent and in 2019 moved to a full choir. It is a pleasure to play bells and enhance the worship experience at Bethel.
The Well
In September of 2018, the Well started on a Thursday Night for a monthly worship service for those to come and be refreshed and spend time in God’s word and message. The Well is our most contemporary service consisting of testimonies, videos, and activities. Stay tuned for future Well events.
