May our souls be overflowing with joy as we sing in the presence of our King!
Vision: A world united in Christ through music.
Mission: Led by the Holy Spirit, we will proclaim Christ's Love and Message with songs in our hearts and harmony in our voices all for the Glory of God.
Goal:
Promote CFC music - Think of ways on how different cultures can adapt CFC standard songs. This way the corporate expression of praise and worship through the songs will be culturally significant while making it more personal and heart-felt on the individual.
Direct the community to the right CFC culture with respect to its praise and worship practices and traditions
Serve as vanguards of our praise and worship life
Protect, preserve, and promote how praise and worship ought to be done.
Aims to improve, enhance, and find new expressions of praise and worship as revealed by God.
Some applications are: The proper way a song is sung or given musical accompaniment (technical), basic attitudes of a music minister (affective), etc.]
Provide a forum for study, discussion, and discernment in recognizing God-given charisms for CFC.
Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, bless his name;
announce his salvation day after day.
Psalm 96:1-2
St Augustine said, "He, who sings, prays twice."
In the Scriptures, one of the greatest musicians (if not the greatest one) is David. He offered his hymns and psalms to the Lord. He's a man after God's own Heart. This is how our songs and music should inspire us to be because that is how we should all be.
Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, 'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'
-- Acts 13:22
The Music Ministry is instrumental in bringing the community together in worship. This is not only by playing instruments and singing during CFC gatherings, but also by teaching the community the various CFC songs.
Both old and new songs for the community.
Songs for the young and the old in the community.
Songs for the present and future generations -- for all generations.
As the community is united in prayer and music, so shall its different generations be united in old and new songs.
All songs allow us to heighten our worship and experience the presence of God and His Love for us.
He unites us through the old and new songs for the old and new generations.
We need a "common unity" in our music and songs to build generations of servant leaders in our community.
What songs can attract, encourage, and inspire the YFC to transition to SFC? And for SFC to transition to CFC?
What should be done in all Family Ministries?
Sing, enjoy, learn, and teach the songs of our community. Let us praise and worship our God together as one!
I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
I will declare all your wondrous deeds.
I will delight and rejoice in you; I
will sing hymns to your name, Most High.
Psalm 9:2-3
