Song and music is a response which engages the whole self in prayer. To accompany the choir in singing of prayer is a primary role of the Church Choir Accompanist. In worship, music is not for entertainment or artistic display. Music as prayer is to be a worthy offering to God on behalf of the people. At West Granville Presbyterian Church, the choir and its accompanist enhances worship in a special and unique way rather than as being a performance organization. To the glory of God!
