Create Music

Create Music

An ancient leader of the church once said, “the person who sings prays twice.” That speaks to the importance of music within the life of faith. Music uniquely connects us to matters of the spirit, enriching our worship and our prayer. Music also connects us to one another!

FBCH has been a loving and accepting place for me and my late husband Lorne, and singing in the senior choir is always a joy under Lynette's leadership. I love the various levels of musical styles in the repertoire which keeps the choir challenged and motivated.

The music is exceptional - from choral to jazz, traditional to modern hymn singing and periodic featured artists, we are regularly inspired and uplifted. There's a willingness to try new things and to explore new ways of being a church together.

Worship Through Music

While the FBCH Senior Choir enriches our worship experience with choral leadership, from traditional hymns to contemporary pieces, the Music Consulting Group works to ensure that music remains a vital part of our church.
