Music and Worship Arts Ministry

Contact: musicandworshiparts@alfredstreet.org

The Music and Worship Arts Ministry serves the church and the larger community outside these walls as God continues to use many committed and dedicated singers and instrumentalists to lead the congregation in praise and worship, and serve the church whenever needed. Our talented musicians seek to discern the flow of the Holy Spirit in each worship service; and try to follow the Spirit’s lead both musically and spiritually in unity and cooperation with our pastor and other worship leaders. Our utmost motivation and desire is to see the congregation enter into God’s presence. Often, our members accompany Pastor Wesley at special outreach services during the year. Membership in all of our ensembles is open at all times during the year and new members are especially welcomed.

Choirs for Young People: The King’s Kids Choir pre-K (age 4) through 3rd grade and the Junior Gospel Inspirers ages 9-12 provide strong spiritual opportunities through sacred music. It is our goal to promote positive development of self-esteem and serious study of religious music. King’s Kids rehearsal schedule is Thursday 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. and the Jr. Gospel Inspirers meet Thursday 6:15 – 7:30 p.m. and other days as announced. Parents and guardians must register youth to join either choir. Please click here to register for The King’s Kids Choir, or click here to register for the Jr. Gospel Inspirers Choir.
