The music groups are a team of servants, committed to leading God's people in worship, as together they offer back to Him, the gifts given by Him.
The Bible makes many references to the role of the musicians and singers, particularly in the Old Testament. They where often the ones who would lead the army into battle, they where used by Almighty God to prepare the way for the soldiers to march into victory.
In today's contemporary Church, the musicians role is to assist the fellowship to focus on the attributes of God himself. Songs of love and adoration are sung, songs of testimony to God's faithfulness, and songs with a spiritual warfare theme, all form part of the 20th century song selection, used in Churches such as ours.
The music selection at Gold Coast Christian Family is the responsibility of our Pastor of Music and Worship Alan Cann. He collaborates with the Pastoral staff and Senior Pastor. Alan's wide experience as a musician, is called on each weekend as we present fresh and dynamic worship services.
The psalmist exhorts us to "play on the harps, the stringed instruments, the tambourine, and drum…… make a joyful noise unto the Lord….. sound the trumpet, and sing songs of exaltation".
Music forms an integral part of our meetings together. We believe music is a beautiful gift from the Lord, along with all the God given gifts, we are committed to present to God our talent, offering it to Him, for His delight and His glory.
