Music is a major part of who we are. Whether you are singing in worship, community, or prayer, music enriches our lives with its art. When we gather together as a church, music helps us to express our need, our love, and our gratitude for God. There are many music ministries available for you to join here at Asbury Church!
Our music programs are all currently in various stages of hiatus due to COVID-19. We still encourage you to contact the directors as listed below if you’re interested in joining a particular group once restrictions are lifted. If you are interested in lending your musical talents (instrumental and vocal) to worship on an individual basis, contact the church office at info@asburylv.org or 610-398-2577.
