A note from:
Don Gober - Minister of Music
musicmin@parkermemorial.com

 

Parker Memorial Baptist Church has a long and rich heritage. An integral part of the life and ministry of this church is music. Through singing, playing, and worship we serve and honor our Risen Lord! There are singing choirs for all ages. Instrumental groups, of different forms, are available. As we gather for worship music ministry encompasses our entire congregation.

Music at Parker Memorial exists to lift up Christ. We strive to be the best we can be, but always in an atmosphere of service and love. We also allow ourselves to have fun as we learn.

If you are looking for a place to serve, we welcome and encourage you to see what Music Ministry at Parker Memorial has to offer. In this section, you will find details of the opportunities to be found in our ministry. Psalm 33:3 says "Sing to the Lord a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy."

In Christ,
Don Gober
Minister of Music
