"Let us sing unto the Lord, let us make a joyful noise..."
The music program at St. Andrew confirms a sense of fellowship and community as we sing and play together the great hymns of the church. The program uses this art form to create atmosphere, heighten a mood, and strengthen the attributes of awe, mystery, penitence, and praise necessary for a successful worship experience.

Music in the church has one great purpose: "Soli Deo Gloria - To God Alone Be The Glory," a return in kind for God's gift of beauty to humankind. Through inspired music, we praise and pray and preach. With the prophet Isaiah, we seek to answer the question, "Who will go for us?" "Here am I, Lord, send me!"

Inviting others to join the worship of Jesus Christ through song is a main goal of The Praise Experience. Rehearsals are every Wednesday from 7 to 8 PM at the church.
