Music
Oh, sing to the LORD a new song!
Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
Psalm 96:1-2 (NKJV)
Singing praise to our God is not optional! The scriptures implore us to sing praise to Him, to sing with the spirit, and to sing with understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15). We are also exhorted to sing to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody in our hearts to the Lord (Ephesians 5:19).
At Bethel Baptist Church, we seek to do just that. Our music program is centered around the congregation giving praise to God through singing. We do have a choir, pianists, organists, and those who provide special music in our services, but the emphasis of our music is always to draw our hearts and minds to worship our great God.
God is the true audience. With praising and worshiping God as our goal, we strive to use music that is worthy of Him - music which has a rich theological text carried along by melodies and arrangements that support that text.
Every Sunday our auditorium is filled with the sound of great hymns and spiritual songs that lift our hearts as we worship our great God.
As great as this is now, we look forward to the day when we can see Him face to face and sing His praises for all eternity!
