Be a Part of the Pender Music Ministry

Calling All Musicians: Join Pender’s Vibrant Music Ministry!

Are you passionate about music? Do you feel called to share your musical gifts in a community of faith? Pender is seeking talented musicians to join our vibrant Music Ministry team and contribute to our uplifting and spiritually enriching worship services!

What We’re Looking For:

Instrumentalists: Whether you shine on the strings, whisper with the woodwinds, or resonate with the brass, we need your skills to fill our sanctuary with harmonious sounds.
Vocalists: Sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses—lend your voices to help lead our congregation in song and praise.
Handbells: We will teach you to play during our services and special events.

Why Be a Part of the Pender Music Ministry?

Community Impact: Through your music, you can touch the hearts of our congregation and inspire joy and contemplation in our weekly gatherings.
Spiritual Growth: Participate in a ministry that not only serves others but also nurtures your own faith and connection to the divine.
Musical Development: Collaborate with experienced musicians and vocalists that will help you hone your craft and explore new musical opportunities.

Get Involved:

Rehearsals: We meet weekly to practice and prepare, ensuring every service is both spiritually and musically fulfilling.
Sunday Services: Be a part of our regular worship schedule and special holiday performances that highlight the church calendar.
Community Outreach: Occasionally, our music ministry participates in local events and services, expanding our impact beyond the church walls.

If you’re excited about making a joyful noise unto the Lord and enhancing our worship experiences, we would love to hear from you! Contact our Patrick King, our Music Director today to learn more about how you can get involved.

Let your talent soar in a place where music meets ministry, and together, we’ll create beautiful worship experiences that resonate with all who attend. Join us and be a key note in our melody of faith!
