Our Music Ministry Purpose Statement:
To utilize to the fullest degree possible, the gift of music, both instrumental and choral, for the purposes of glorifying God and effectively carrying out the five functions of the church, including worship, discipleship, evangelism, fellowship and education.

Music Ministry Philosophy:
To utilize whatever styles and modes of music to help us achieve our purpose statement.  We have three worship services: traditional, contemporary and blended in music style, utilizing a blend of hymns and choruses for congregational participation.  Testimonies in song by the choir, orchestra, soloists, and ensembles include every style of music from contemporary to southern gospel.  Sunday evening worship services tend to be more contemporary in nature utilizing more "praise and worship."

The Choir leads in the 11:00 worship service each Sunday morning.  This group occasionally sings at other times and is the core for major musical presentations, such as Easter passion plays, and Christian Pageantry events

The Northside Orchestra plays for all the congregational music during the 11:00 morning worship service.  It presents at least one orchestra selection each service as well as playing at other times.

Northside has a number of ensembles that regularly rehearse and sing.  These groups provide worship music on a rotating basis during the morning and evening services.

These are small ensembles that occasionally play during Sunday evening services and other special occasions.

These singers and instrumentalists lead the Sunday morning 9:45 time of praise and worship and the evening worship service.

Persons with solo ability, whether as a vocalist or instrumentalists, are encouraged and afforded opportunities to sing.

This group- lead in worship regularly on Sunday evenings as well as travel on a tour each year.

Another need of our church that pertains directly to the music ministry is the Multimedia Ministry.
We are always in need of capable operators for the following:
