Music Ministry
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.”
God’s people are a people who like to celebrate. Because of His great love for us in Jesus Christ, all of His children have the opportunity to come together and rejoice and express our praise and thanks.
For information on a musical group/activity, please contact Church Staff
At Prince of Peace, there are many ways for God’s people to express their worship and praise in music. All involved in Music Ministry and on the Music Team want you to know that you are welcome and encouraged to find opportunities that best fit you and meet your interest. There are places where people from age 5 to 105 can come and serve. We encourage you to step out and find that music opportunity that is right for you.
