Music
The celebration of Christ and community through music is important to us."...be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts."
Ephesians 5:18-20
New Hope aspires to fill Christ's command, sent through the apostle Paul, in numerous ways. We use a variety of worship songs including traditional hymns, Maranatha worship songs, as well as well as the lastest Christian contemporary music.
Pianist, teacher, composer, and arranger Frances Schuchard participates regularly in services and has inspired many in the congregation to become the best musicians that they can be! Her tradition of using music as a tool for personal growth and the creation of community has become an important part of New Hope's worship style.New Hope's Choral Ensemble has participated in community festivals, and although the membership is always changing, the Ensemble performs as regularly as possible. If you are interested in singing, please join us!
Don't let Pastor Ken's robe fool you! He is known to "bang on the odd drum", and has earned himself the nickname the Rockin' Rev in some circles.
New Hope is always looking for new worship bands to celebrate special occasions! If you have a band, please contact Pastor Ken!
