Our Music Director - Jeff Herbert
Music ministry is a celebration of God’s love and gifts through music. An important part of the liturgy, the music – from the entrance and closing hymns, to the responses, to the Gloria and Gospel acclamation – enhances the celebration and declares the glory of God.We are each uniquely gifted by God and those in music ministry share their gift of song and joy in music through dedication and commitment to the Church and the Lord. It is our mission, as recipients of God’s grace, to serve the Lord and proclaim His abundant love and grace for all.
