Mission:

• We magnify the presence of the Lord by leading, directing and facilitating congregational worship via music not be for the mere pleasure of the ears, but for the declaration of God’s Truth
• We prayerfully seek to show the congregation (under guidance of the Holy Spirit) the way to respond beyond the temporal (emotions, feelings) and reach, a taste of the worship of heaven.
• We demonstrate worship in spirit and in truth which encourages the congregation to do the same.

​

The main function of the choir is to be the “show and tell” of worship. It takes the initiative, it inspires, it helps, and it leads.

​

“They shall stand every morning, thanking and praising the Lord, and likewise at evening, and whenever burn offerings are offered to the Lord on Sabbath, new moons and feast days, according to the number required of them, continually before the Lord” (1 Chron 23:30-31).

LIVINGSTREAMS (CHOIR)

Our Duties: Drawing from the principles of the music ministry at the Temple.

​

• Ministerial duties

• We have been called as ministers of music who minister on the altar to the Lord in music.

• Like the Levites, we are to minister the word to the people through our music which is:

• God-glorifying, with lyrics which are rich with the wisdom of the word of Christ and affirm the congregation in God’s Goodness and Righteousness

​

• We are to be prepared spiritually.

• We are to be set aside and ordained for this ministry.

• We must sanctify ourselves and prepare our hearts before worship.

• The choir is responsible for more than making music. It has potential for being a dynamo of spiritual energy in the worship life of the church.

​

• Musically trained.

• Choir members too seek to improve musically, through practice and voice training.

1. To raise an army of confident youths who are filled with the Spirit of God, understand the times, know the best course to take and hence can lead others.

2. Raise teens/young adults who are well grounded in their identity in Christ, know who they are and based on this knowledge, can navigate the peculiarities of this age successfully.

3. Raise teens/young adults who will be relevant in their generation (kingdom agents in Babylon), custodians of the precious faith of our Lord Jesus Christ and able to pass the baton to the next generation.
