Denise Seymour, Music director Dr Louann Zinsmeister, Organist/Accompanist
The music ministry at Trinity Church exists to serve God by offering excellent music that is accessible to all. The primary function of our musicians is to support and unify the singing of the people gathered for worship. Choirs, instrumentalists, and small ensembles also use music to “tell the story” and “teach the faith”, to stir the listener’s heart toward sincere worship.
The Role of Music in Worship
- To Proclaim and rejoice in the glories of God
- Preserve and pass on the hymns of the Historic Orthodox Christian church.
- Select music that is God-centered, doctrinally sound, and that ‘gets at the heart’ and ‘engages the imagination’.
- Select music that encourages vibrant congregational singing.
- Create an environment that enriches and boosts congregational singing.
- Encourage musicians to serve with grateful hearts and sincere devotion.
- Make the most of the talents, gifts, and instruments that God has given us.
- Rejoice in the body of Christ by creating space for members to use their musical gifts.
- Strive to uphold the highest standards of musical excellence.
