Music Philosophy

We hold to a conservative music philosophy for worship and Christian life. The pages linked here are intended to inform our readers of the rationale behind our philosophy.

We seek to promote “God-honouring, flesh-mortifying” Christian music. Positively, that means we seek to choose music that is distinctively Christian and decidedly worshipful. Negatively, that means we turn away from music that imitates the world and indulges the flesh. We also insist on lyrics that are doctrinally correct.

The following pages will lead you to a greater understanding of our philosophy:
