Covenant Music
At Covenant, music is a powerful way to glorify God during worship and throughout our lives. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or just starting out, our choirs and ensembles offer a meaningful opportunity to use your talents in service and praise.
Each group brings a vibrant variety of music that reflects and enhances our weekly worship themes. Along the way, you’ll build lasting connections with others in our church family, growing in both faith and fellowship.
We have a place for everyone—from children’s choirs to adult ensembles, and from traditional choral groups to our contemporary worship band. Instrumentalists are also welcome, with opportunities to play throughout the church year and at special events across our community.
Come be a part of something beautiful. Share your gift. Lift your voice. Join the music ministry at Covenant.
