Music Ministry
Bro. TJ Martin

Through song and praise the St. James Music Ministry edifies our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As God ministers to us, we proclaim God's Power to provide music of comfort, encouragement, healing, and to be a worship instrument for teaching and strengthening our faith as we humbly serve.

The Music Ministry continues to grow in number and in purpose. Continually, we found our strength and spiritual illumination in our unified efforts as a combined ministry with all choral ensembles providing services as one. When we united Music Ministry in service and in praise with our Dance Ministry, we received uplifting God glorifying experiences. Jointly, we ministered during special worship services such as Revival, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve Watch Night, and many Sunday morning services.
