BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH MUSIC MINISTRY

 

At Berean, the music ministry has two distinct purposes:  to bring glory to God in every musical endeavor, whether it be with the choirs, the orchestra, the special music or the congregational music that is presented, and to edify believers who attend the worship services of our church, preparing their hearts to receive the message from God's Word!  There is a place of service in the music ministry for everyone at Berean.  Whether you are a child or a senior adult, we encourage everyone who has a love for music to be a part of this vital ministry in our church.  Please contact our Music pastor, Mitch Gearner, mitch@bereanhouston.org, if you have an interest in being a part of any of the following music ministries.

ADULT CHOIR MINISTRY            

The choir ministry is for church members who have at least reached their 16th birthday and have not only a love for singing, but some musical ability to sing.  You don't need to have a music degree to be a part of the centerpiece of Berean's music program, only a desire to serve the Lord in this area and the ability to faithfully meet for our scheduled rehearsals. The choir rehearses each Sunday morning from 8:45 until 9:45, just before our Life Connection Groups meet for Bible classes. Extra rehearsals may be called as special needs arise, such as preparations for an Easter or Christmas program.    

ORCHESTRA MINISTRY             

The orchestra ministry is for church members who have at least reached their 16th birthday and have musical ability to play an instrument.  Reading music or chord charts are necessary in being a part of this important worship ministry.  The orchestra meets to rehearse each Sunday morning from 8:15 until 8:45, just before our choir meets for rehearsal. The psalmist declares to "make a joyful noise" as we worship the Lord, and those in that day did so using all manner of instruments, including stringed and percussive instruments! Every orchestra member who plays enjoys playing for the Lord!

SPECIAL MUSIC MINISTRY             

The special music ministry is for those who serve in the choir and orchestra ministries. Specialists must be a faithful member of one of those ministries to serve in this specialized ministry. Specialists are scheduled a month in advance to present music  and songs that will be honoring to Christ and a blessing to the church.         

CHILDREN'S CHOIR MINISTRY             

Here at Berean, we love to encourage our children to sing and use their musical talents for the Lord! We have a children's choir for any aged child - which also prepares them for being a part of the adult choir when they reach their 16th birthday. The children's choirs present music throughout the year during worship services, and especially for special days, such as Easter and Christmas.
