MUSIC MINISTRY

MUSIC MINISTRY

“Bless, O Lord, us thy servants who minister in thy temple.
Grant that what we sing with our lips we may believe in our hearts,
and what we believe in our hearts we may show forth in our lives,
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.”

— Motto of the Royal School of Church Music


Dallas Bono

Director of Music

No other prayer could better describe our goals as a music ministry at Oconee Presbyterian Church. Music has the power to unite souls of different backgrounds, generations, opinions, cultures, genders, and lifestyles. This congregation comes together every Sunday to celebrate this diversity. When a group of people make music together, the individual heartbeats of the musicians begin to sync together into unity. What a powerful testimony of God’s love this is!


In our music ministries, there are no auditions. Our musical groups are not populated only by professional or elite musicians. Instead, we are a group of people who love to lead worship through our combined artistic souls.


If you have a song in your heart to express, you are welcome to participate. If you don’t feel you have enough training, don’t worry—we will supply the instruction.
