Why we sing
There is something about a group of people singing together. It’s a little strange. It really is. Unless you are at a concert, baseball game or birthday party you generally will not find a group of people singing together. But why do we, as a church, sing? Well first of all it is part of our history and tradition. From King David to Martin Luther to Fanny Crosby, men and women have expressed their thoughts, whether in times of distress or joy through the power of music. Music seems to tap into a deeper part of our being that words alone could never express. In Psalms 21:13 David writes, “We will write songs to celebrate your mighty acts”. It has been said that music is the language of the soul. We believe that to be true.
Our philosophy
We believe here at Northgate that it is our job and calling to lead the church in the act of worship. We strive to play our instruments and sing in such a way that does not distract anyone from connecting with God. Every worship song we sing is meant to bring honor and glory to Christ. And although we are concerned with the quality of the music we also want to make sure that our lives are a worship to God. We want to be a team that leads the church in living what we sing.
