Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise. And may God give us faith to sing always.

From the earliest days, music has been a vital element of worship. The Book of Psalms is a songbook expressing praise, awe, joy, sorrow, and penitence before God. The New Testament contains hymns and canticles sung by the earliest church. The gift of song is an important expression of our humanity before God as we gather for worship.

Our music ministry at Northbrook is designed to train musicians for worship leadership, and also for personal, spiritual, and musical growth. Voices joined in song are a powerful testimony of the cooperative Body of Christ strengthening and uplifting one another.

Music for the church services is chosen based on the theme of the service and the scriptures, as well as special times and holidays. We try to reflect the diverse worship needs of our congregation, including old favorites and newer hymns. The beautiful and touching music of voice and instrument is made possible only by the time and talent of the congregation.

It’s not too late to become part of one of our music ensembles! There is always a need for anyone who would like to share the gift of music that God has given them. Church musicians have found both inspiration and a supporting fellowship in working together with others to worship God through music. We invite you and your family to be a part of our ministry of music.
