Worship Ministry
Worship Music
Covenant's worship music is a contemporary blend of worship songs, from the new songs of such artists as Paul Baloche, Chris Tomlin, Tommy Walker, and Hillsong United, to the traditional hymns of the church in new settings; from rhythmic island sounds, to the light jazz arrangements for choir of Carol Cymbala and Brooklyn Tab. On any given Sunday you may hear the Covenant Singers singing a cappella, to a fully orchestrated track, or with the live sounds of Covenant's versatile worship bands. You will join the congregation in worship, singing energetic praise songs lifting the name of Jesus; reflective folk melodies speaking to the hearts of believers; old and newly written hymns of the church teaching and reinforcing the doctrines of the faith; and the familiar sounds of gospel music drawing us into deeper fellowship with His Spirit, as believers stand and together worship our mighty God.
Worship Bands
The worship bands currently include bass, electric, and acoustic guitars, synthesizers, keyboards, drums, and vocals. We are expanding, adding new members and developing new bands, and would love to add some brass instruments. Worship bands are open to high school through adult ages. An interview and audition is required. Interested instrumentalist should contact DelMorgan@covenantlife.net .
The Covenant Singers
This exciting vocal group sings in both morning worship services, two to three times monthly. The group consists of high school through adult ages. Auditions are not required. While the Covenant Singers includes many gifted musicians, it is also home to many beginning vocalists. Aside from age, there are only four requirements for entry into this group: 1) A desire to lift up the name of Jesus, 2) a willingness to work hard, 3) a teachable spirit, and 4) faithfulness to rehearsal and performance. These requirements help us grow together in Christ, and to maintain a level of excellence that allows this group to effectively lead in worship. Weekly rehearsals – Sunday evenings, 7:00 – 8:30 PM – are held from September through June. Interested singers are invited to join a rehearsal at any time!
