Pullen Music Ministry
Music in the church exists in relationship to virtually every area of church life -- as a means of worship, a source for spiritual enrichment, a tool in Christian education, an enjoyment for fellowship, and an avenue of ministry.
Music Ministry at Pullen is expressed...in the delight of preschoolers at musical play...in the pure tones of a children's choir and the maturing voices of youth...in the choral art of dedicated adults...in the proclamation of a psalm, the poetry of a hymn, the simplicity of a spiritual song...in the majestic and meditative sounds of the pipe organ...in the resonant vibration of handbells and the distinctive timbre of instruments...in the multi-faceted voice and song of the congregation at worship.
All are welcomed to participate in the following church music ministry groups.
