At New Providence Missionary Baptist Church, we believe music is more than a song — it is a ministry that prepares hearts to worship and glorify the Lord. Scripture reminds us of the power of music in worship and in spiritual battle:

“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.”
— 2 Chronicles 20:21 (KJV)

Just as the singers led the way into battle in the Old Testament, our choir has the sacred calling to lead our congregation into the presence of God through worship.

As choir director, I am thankful for the rich history of Southern Gospel music and the beloved hymns of the Baptist hymnal that have been the foundation of our worship for generations. We also regularly sing favorites from the good ol’ Mull’s Singing Convention blue book, like “Bound for That City,” “I Am Redeemed,” and “When He Was On the Cross.” These songs connect us to our heritage of faith and remind us of God’s faithfulness across the years.

At the same time, God is moving through new songs of worship, and our Praise Choir is blessed to help lead our church family with powerful contemporary songs such as “Goodness of God” and “Thank You, Jesus, for the Blood.” Each Easter season, the Praise Choir also presents a special Resurrection Day program — a time of praise and worship focused on the cross and the victory of our risen Savior.

Whether we are lifting up “Victory in Jesus,” “Amazing Grace,” a Mull’s classic, or a modern chorus that declares God’s goodness, our heart remains the same: to glorify Christ and invite the congregation to join us in wholehearted worship.

From my heart as choir director, I want to extend an invitation to anyone who feels called to join us. Our theme is simple: none of us are perfect singers, but we serve a perfect Savior — and He deserves all our worship.

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.”
— Psalm 100:1–2 (KJV)
