MUSIC MINISTRY
The McArthur Assembly Music Ministry is a dynamic place for people whom God has gifted as singers and/or instrumentalists to work together in order to lead His body in praise and worship. If that sounds like you, then, the McArthur Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra is the place for you. Our mission is to lead the people of God in experiencing Him through praise and worship as well as to provide a place of expression for people of all ages to whom He has gifted in music. Stylistically speaking, we are contemporary with a mix of Hillsongs, Southern Gospel, Integrity Hosanna as well as some traditional and Gospel added in. The Music Department is a growing and dynamic ministry for all ages. It is an important part in the worship experience of our church family.

Participation in the Sanctuary Choir is open for all adults 18 years of age and older who demonstrate faithfulness to the mission and leadership of our church family as well as the gifting and ability to minister before the Lord in song. We currently sing every Sunday morning in the 10:30AM worship service as well as present seasonal musicals and dramas during Christmas, Easter and the Fourth of July. At present, rehearsals are every Wednesday from 7:00 – 8:30PM in the McKids room upstairs.

The McArthur Ministry Team is selected from within the Sanctuary Choir and various other ministries at McArthur and exists to provide strong vocal support along with the Worship Leader during Praise and Worship. Individuals who are chosen for this ministry demonstrate strong leadership both personally and musically. They minister in both the morning and evening Sunday worship services. Rehearsals are the first Saturday morning and the “middle” Thursday evening of each month.
