Open Door Bible Church

Music Ministries



Purpose Statement of the Music Ministry

The purpose of the Music Ministry of Open Door Bible Church is to be a tool to help the church meet its expressed purposes of worship, edification and evangelism. Music is used to lead the congregation in worship. Music is used to teach, challenge and build up believers. Music is used to reach out to those who do not know Christ and to challenge believers to share their faith.


Worship Style at Open Door Bible Church

The worship style at ODBC would be classified as blended. You will find a mix of hymns, gospel songs and contemporary choruses at most Sunday morning services. Our desire is to take music of our Christian heritage and combine it with the best of what is relatively new. We are trying to achieve a modern day balance of "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs." This allows all age levels to worship together. On Sunday mornings you will see different groups leading congregational worship: Adult Choir, small vocal team, Orchestral instruments, piano/keyboard, guitar and special music. On Sunday evenings you will find a variety of congregational music: from hymn or chorus request night to music based on a theme to historical backgrounds of our songs.


Goal

We praise the Lord for the musical talents and skills he has given to so many at Open Door Bible Church. It is our desire to use them first of all to honor Him and then to minister to people. Our goal is to have all ODBC musicians not think of their music as a performance but as an act of worship to God and ministry to His people.
