Music Ministries
Independence Church of the Nazarene

When we gather on Sunday morning, our purpose is one of celebration. We celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, as well as the fact that God has called each of us to know Him intimately. Our celebration on Sunday is also a celebration of what God is doing in the fife of His church during the week. We worship God privately during the week, and corporately on Sunday!

The areas and opportunities of ministry in the music / drama department are numerous. Whether your interest lies in the field of vocal or instrumental music, drama, or in the sound and righting -- there's a place for you. These opportunities come in a variety of ways:

Sanctuary Choir
The sanctuary choir is the heartbeat of the music / drama department. The choir will perform each Sunday for morning worship, and a few times through the year in the Sunday evening services. The Sanctuary Choir will also be involved in all of the major productions throughout the year. It is an exciting, fast paced group to be involved in.

Sanctuary Orchestra
As you are in the congregation and you are singing the hymns and psalms of the Lord, you will notice a group of people adding to worship with their instruments. This group of people come together once a week to provide a top quality sound to a new and exciting worship here at First Church. All instruments are welcome!

Nazarene Players
This is a group of people that have the dream that words combined with action make a great story to tell. Many of the skits are chosen to ' help the scripture of the sermon come alive. To take the people to a new level of awareness of the message of Christ is the goal of the Nazarene players. All drama talents are welcome.

Seasonal Productions
These are times when we are all brought together to celebrate the gift of fife at Christmas, and the death and resurrection at Easter, and God's faithfulness and love at Homecoming. Many of the groups above are involved in making these productions come to life. With a strong tradition in the Independence area to have great and powerful productions, the choir, orchestra and other groups here at First Church have a great challenge before them to give back to God what He has given them.
