1. Music department
The Bible explains that every good gift comes from God (James 1:17). Music is one of God’s good gifts. God has given both man and angels the gift of music-making (Genesis 4:21; Job 38:7). The purpose of music and singing is to rejoice in and worship the Lord (Psalm 95:1-2).
Here at the Hall of Strength Ministries, the music ministers serve in the front-line of ministry as vessels and channels of worship. The music ministry plays a key role in ushering the congregation into the presence of God through worship and praise. The focus of this ministry is not limited to music roles but also the total transformation of the lives in the ministry through the study of God’s word. Being a minstrel is a divine calling and goes beyond just the talent and desire to sing or play an instrument. The functions of the music ministry include glorifying God through the praises and worship, preparing the congregation for the Word of God, ministering through songs during church programs and church related activities and assisting the minister of music in planning and promoting church musical program
