Music Ministries

It has been said that music is the universal language of mankind. Maybe that's why Bethel takes its music ministry so seriously. We spend a lot of time and care on providing quality music programs for people of all ages and abilities. And the music we create not only enhances our worship services, it fulfills its ultimate goal...to give God glory!


The music ministries of Bethel Church. Giving God glory -

     by offering our whole hearts and our best talents and efforts,

     by giving each person's worship of God a voice,

     by building up Christian community, and

     by welcoming people of all ages to connect to God through music.   



***COVID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR MUSIC REHEARSALS***

In an effort to diminish the possibility of covid transmission during music rehearsals, we will be implementing the following safety procedures:


1. Masks will be worn by children/adults who are not fully vaccinated.

2. Children’s choirs will meet for no more than 45 minutes at a time.

3. Physical distancing will be required for all groups.

4. A commercial-grade HEPA filtration system will be used to circulate and clean the air in the music room and a 30 minute break between rehearsals will allow time for the air to be circulated properly.

5. Hand-washing and disinfecting precautions will be observed.

6. We will be prepared to alter or suspend rehearsals should it become necessary.
