Adult Choir & Orchestra

Worship is a central act of the Church. At Vista Grande music is a primary tool in our worship. The purpose of music is to facilitate the people’s expression of praise and adoration. God is the God of infinite variety. In our music worship we seek to emulate that variety using resources from a large spectrum of genres to contribute to a vibrant worship experience.

Jay Hill, Minister of Music

We utilize songs that have stood the test of time, songs that have become standards in just the last few years, and songs that may only be for today but help us to communicate with God nevertheless. This pattern of planning enables us to worship together, across the generations, through music. Our heart’s desire is to worship God the way He wants to be worshiped. We invite you to worship with us through music, drama, and the declaration of the Word.

We offer choirs for the following age groups: Preschool, Kindergarten, Music Makers (1st - 3rd grade) and Young Musicians (4th & 5th grade). Each group meets on Sundays during the school year from 4:30 - 5:45 p.m.

During the course of the 2009-2010 choir year we will continue to develop and implement a strong music education aspect to the program.  We want to fulfill our responsibility to raise up the next generation of church musicians. Our children periodically share special programs and sing in our worship services. Click here for more information about our Children's Choirs.
