The
Music
Department of Garden Sanctuary Church
of God,
under the direction of our Minister of Music,
offers many areas of opportunity for those who wish to honor
the Lord with their artistic talents
and energies.

Our largest area of musical ministry is the
Adult Sanctuary Choir.
This choir is a non-audition
group of individuals desiring to lift
up the Lord through song. Believing that music can usher
people
into the presence of the Lord, we strive to make every song we
sing
a message of hope for believers and unbelievers alike. There
are
approximately
45 members currently enrolled in the choir.
Rehearsals are immediately following the Wednesday evening
service from 8 to 10 PM. Our Adult Choir has completed its
first studio recording, featuring ten of our most popular
songs
and performed by the choir,
instrumentalists and soloists.
Our second area of musical ministry is the
church
Instrumental Ensemble, and we have
approximately ten
instrumentalists who minister on a regular basis. We hope to
build this ensemble to accommodate those who have a desire to use
their musical talents in church ministry. Rehearsals for
this
ensemble take place in conjunction with the Praise Team
rehearsals.
Our third area of music ministry is the
Praise Team. This team
consists of seven vocalists who lead the praise and worship phase
of all Sunday worship services. The Praise Team rehearses
every
Sunday afternoon from 5 to 5:30 PM.
Other areas of musical ministry are the
Ladies Vocal Ensemble
and
Youth Vocal Ensemble.
The Ladies Ensemble rehearses from
4:45 to 5:45 PM on the first and third Sundays of each month, and
the
Youth Ensemble from 5 to 5:45 PM on the second and fourth
Sundays. Both of these ensembles are non-audition groups and
are under the direction
of Linwood Little.
Our music and fine arts department presents at least two major
productions per year for the Easter and Christmas seasons.
We also try to meet a minimum of once a month for a time of
Christian fellowship and spiritual sharing.
