Orchestra Ministry

The Liberty Orchestra is a vital part of the Liberty Music Ministry and an integral part of the entire church. They play in our worship services using many styles of Christian music including traditional, contemporary, jazz and much more. Variety is the key here. All players must be of high school age or higher.

Music in the Bible holds a place of great prominence. It is mentioned over 839 times, thus statistically indicating music’s great importance in the kingdom of God. 1 Chronicles 15:16 defines music as a ministry by appointment. As those skilled on musical instruments, we have a scriptural mandate to raise sounds of joy to our God. 1 Chronicles 9:33 further states the position of an instrumentalist in the house of the Lord as set aside for this specific task. “Now these are the singers, ... who lived in the chambers of the temple free from other service; for they were engaged in their work day and night.”

Commitment to being in our God-called place is the basis on which that calling stands. The overwhelming majority of all instruction given is communicated during Wednesday and Sunday (weekly) rehearsals. Ears not present are not able to hear. In order to develop an ensemble sound, it is only reasonable to expect a high percentage of participation during times designated for accomplishment of these and other goals. We are a worship team and as such the burden of preparedness falls upon each individual by maintaining his/her commitment to Christ and to the other team members. Therefore, we should make every effort to adequately prepare and perform for His glory. This includes being prompt for both rehearsal and service times because the nature of instrumental music requires time for warming-up, tuning, and inspection of equipment. It is always advantageous to arrive early and remain until the task is completed. If you are aware of an upcoming absence or in the event of an emergency, please contact  the music office. By doing so we will be able to plan rehearsals and services more effectively. Primarily, the greatest reason for communicating this information is that we might minister more effectively one to another as a family.
