Choral Music

We see music as a vital part of our worship, offered to God as its only worthy object: intended for building up the church body. Worship music has its focus on God’s character, attributes, and actions in us and for us, enhancing our thankfulness, praise, worship, and glory only to Him.

The best texts for worship music are from Scripture (e.g., the Psalms). Also, texts not copied from Scripture but scriptural in content, serve well. The melodies and harmonies to be used need to be worthy of the text, and so support and enhance it. While all believers should sing (at least in their hearts), not all are gifted to be choral singers. The following groups exist within Bellewood at present—

Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary Choir is involved in worship services most Sundays from September through June. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings as well as other times as needed. Contact Don Jones if interested.

Cantabile

Cantabile (a Latin term for “smooth, lyrical, or flowing”) is a singing group for junior high and high school aged youth.  Cantabile frequently participates on Sunday mornings, and are often invited to special events. Rehearsals are at 9:00 am every Sunday (except in the summer). Contact Jessica Faber if interested.
