“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.”
- Johann Sebastian Bach
This could very well be the Mission Statement of the Music Ministry at Webster Presbyterian Church. Above all else, we seek to glorify God; yet we also hope to draw the congregation into a deeper, more meaningful worship that cannot be expressed by the spoken word alone.
Music is a special and diverse form of ministry at WPC and we have choral or instrumental groups for all ages. Our Faith Choir sings at
the 11:00 service on Sunday mornings while at the 8:30 service, the music is led by our praise band, Joyful Noyz. Other vocalists and instrumentalists also contribute at various services throughout the year.
You are invited to participate in our musical ensembles.
