The Vision of the Music Ministry of Mt PBC

J. Vincent Terry, D.D., Pastor
James Henry Lyle, M.M., Minister of Music

Our Vision is to uplift the church and congregation through a diverse selection of music that appeals to all generations. Every ensemble of the church strives toward musical excellence and focuses on spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through song.

Mt Peace Music Ensembles

The Mount Peace Baptist Church choirs are to LEAD the congregation in song during devotion and worship services. It is our mission to lead lost souls to Christ, to be good stewards in and out of the choir loft and to further carry out the vision of the church.

Choir disciples should be disciples of the church (the Youth Choir is the ONLY exception), having a desire to sing, be committed and dedicated to being ambassadors for Christ through song. All choirs of the ministry sing on a designated Sunday for the 8:00a, 10:00a, and the 11:59am morning worship services and as directed by the Pastor for evening and Extended Ministry Services.
