Music The music ministry at Viewmont Baptist Church is a very important part of the church’s identity. The vitality and quality of music continues to be an integral part of the life of this church. The music ministry’s commitment to excellence is taught, sung and played in worship and in the weekly rehearsals. Our Pastor of Music and Worship, Allen York, directs and leads many of the groups and ensembles that regularly participate in worship. With an extensive amount of experience in choral conducting, solo and piano work, and leading churches in music ministry, he feels that musical excellence, and a passionate desire to express our love through music to a God who first loved all people, is one of the most important ministries in the life of any church. The Congregation makes up the largest choir at VBC. Singing together about our journeys of faith as a body of believers is one of the most important tasks a church can undertake. It is important to sing a broad spectrum of music that enables individuals to feel that they are a part of the history of the Church, as well as the present and future part of the Church. Participation in this group is strongly encouraged and supported! Everyone, members and non-members, are encouraged to participate in the musical life of this church. If you are interested in talking about the music of Viewmont Baptist Church and your level of participation, please contact our Pastor of Music and Worship. Other opportunities include: Sanctuary Choir    The Sanctuary Choir leads our 11 o’clock worship service on a weekly basis. They sing a variety of styles of anthems from    classical to traditional to newly composed anthems. Their rehearsal is on Wednesday evenings. Please contact our Pastor    of Music and Worship if you are interested in becoming a part of this choir. Viewmont Adult Handbell Choir    Viewmont Adult Handbell Choir is a vibrant, dedicated group of folk who take the art of handbell ringing seriously. They    rehearse weekly and play frequently in the worship services and at other venues. This five-octave choir rings many different    kinds of music and has a wonderful repertoire. Children’s Choirs    Children’s Choirs are an extremely important part of the children’s ministry at VBC. We have choirs for 4 & 5 years old, first    and second grade, and third through fifth grade. Led by wonderful directors and workers, these children learn to love music    and learn about God and the Church through music. The older choirs sing in worship periodically and also work on seasonal    programs throughout the year. Fresh Spirit Ensemble    Fresh Spirit Ensemble leads our Fresh Spirit worship at 8:30 a.m. on Sundays. This ensemble not only leads    congregational music, but also prepares its own music on a weekly basis. This group is led by piano, guitars, drums and    keyboard, and involves several vocalists. Unlike many praise teams, this ensemble does not “perform” for the congregation,    but leads and encourages the congregation to sing.
