Welcome to Pender's Music Ministries!
Ann Rollins, Director of Music Ministry

The Music Ministry is committed to loving God and others for His glory through the joy of worship and praise. Friendships are grown and cultivated in each of this ministry's many age-appropriate programs for children, students and adults.

Creative forms of musical expression are explored to provide worship experiences that glorify God.

Sunday worship services regularly feature all of our choirs.  Pender's new common ground worship service offers new and ever-changing ways to celebrate our faith.

Glorifying God through song and music is a large part of our services and events at Pender. You will hear us praising God through music in our nursery, our youth fellowship meetings, our worship services, and even in the van on the way to special events!

Our music ministry at Pender seeks to glorify God by providing many different opportunities to praise God through song. We hope this will bring more people to Jesus as music sometimes can touch hearts where words may fail. Musical opportunities may also help prepare people for their own ministry of outreach and service in music.

It is the goal of our music ministry to live out our vision statement “To Make Disciples for Christ.” By witnessing through the talents God has given us, we hope to enhance people’s spiritual walk in song and word. We not only enjoy making music for the Lord, but enjoy the close Christian fellowship of one another. We also are in the process of seeking musicians for another contemporary musical group, so if you have a talent you would like to share or would just love to praise the Lord through music, come and join us - we’ve been waiting for you!

If you have an interest in participating with the choir, singing solos, playing a keyboard instrument, playing hand bells or other musical instruments, please contact me by e-mail.

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. --Psalm 95:1,2

Sing and Celebrate

At 7 PM on the first Sunday of each month the Pender family and friends join for a contemporary worship service; Sing & Celebrate. This wonderful time of worship provides an opportunity to get together and praise God in a casual atmosphere. The service includes lots of singing to the accompaniment of guitars, keyboard, piano, and percussion instruments. A short drama and message, usually presented by a lay member of the church, provide a centerpiece for the evening's worship service. Worshipers have the chance to express cares and concerns as well as joys and praises as the congregation joins in prayer. The service lasts about an hour, sometimes a little more, and usually people are not ready for the celebration to end as they stay and fellowship with fellow believers. Sing and Celebrate is a welcoming, casual, and worshipful time in the life of Pender.
