At Hope we hold fast to the old hymns with no apology. Colossians 3:16 says: "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Clearly, then, Christian music is to teach Bible doctrine, to encourage godly behavior and to give testimony to the grace of God that resides in us by faith in Christ Jesus.
Congregational Singing
There is nothing sweeter than to hear the people of God lift their voices together in praise of Jesus Christ. We strive to keep the song service exuberant, timely, and spiritually refreshing.
