GURNEE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
MUSIC MINISTRY
Music Ministry Mission Statement:
The Gurnee Seventh-day Adventist Church Music Ministry seeks to humbly serve Christ with a spirit of excellence. Through music and to lead others into His presence by turning hearts and focusing minds so that God is glorified with one body with one voice through one Spirit.
Opportunities to be a part of this ministry are available for those who are gifted with musical ability and have a desire for biblically-based service.
Our Music Ministry values EXCELLENCE as we present the music for the Sabbath worship service each week. We utilize various music styles to embrace the community and reach people of all walks of life, speaking to each other through songs, hymns and spirituals to edify the body.
Our Music Ministry values PRAYER, as we seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in choosing music that will create an atmosphere conducive for the manifest presence of God and facilitate the corporate worship experience. It is our prayer that our offering of music ministers to the soul of the worshipper and draws them closer to Christ.
