Music Ministry at Providence
The Music Ministry at Providence includes a blend of traditional, gospel, contemporary, and instrumental music. We believe that music is a wonderful way to lift our voices in praise to the Lord. We praise God and thank Him for blessings He has given us!
We have a variety of opportunities in our music program. We offer a Kids' Choir for children and a Girls' Ensemble for our students. Our Sanctuary Choir ministers to the congregation each week in our services. Special music also includes solos, ensembles and instrumental groups. Concerts are offered to our church and community throughout the year and on special occasions. Come and join us at Providence as we praise the Lord together!

To God be the glory!

The music blessed everyone. Val stayed after the service to visit with folks. Lewis was here from England, also. Rev. Gary Parrish was our guest preacher. His message about "The Hands of Jesus" was powerful!
Mr. Fred Carter - Choir member, soloist, music team, and dear friend.
My heart is saddened that one of our dear choir members has passed away. I know Mr. Fred is rejoicing in heaven and is singing with the heavenly choir. We will miss hearing him, visiting with him, and enjoying the smiles he brought to all of us. He called me "Chief" and I will always cherish that name. Mr. Fred loved to sing about our Lord!
