Our Form of Worship
- WHY WE SING JOYOUS PRAISES:
- "Shout joyfully to the Lord all the earth: break forth and sing for joy and sing praises." (Psalm 98:4) "Then a voice came from the throne saying: "PRAISE OUR GOD, you who fear Him, both small and great." (Revelation 19:5)

WHY WE USE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AS A PART OF WORSHIP:
- "Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet, praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance. Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs, praise Him upon the loud cymbals; praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals." (Psalm 150:3-5)
