God talks to the hearts of many through the medium of music, and for that reason, music has long been a part of the Apostolic Faith work. Through the years, an interesting feature of the musical organization has been that the members are volunteers and are born-again Christians. They have been chosen to fill a place because of their willingness of heart and consecrated lives as well as for their musical talent.

Many of the musicians who participate in the music department of this church felt the call of God early in life. Some are still playing their instruments and using their voices in God’s service after a number of decades. The compelling force that binds these musicians together is their oneness of purpose to give of themselves and their talent to God through the ministry of music. A reoccurring theme often expressed is that it is a privilege and a joy to be able to “make music” for the Lord. They unanimously declare that it is a thrill to be able to be a part of something that speaks to hearts regardless of age or language.
