The NEPC music department is a "family" in which you will be fed musically and spiritually. You will be nurtured and loved by caring Christian friends as we "...come before Him with joyful songs."

Our purpose in Music Ministry is to provide music for worship that offers praise and worship to our Lord Jesus Christ and edifies the body of Christ.

Music StaffChancel Choir - The Chancel Choir rehearses from 7:30 - 9:00 on Wednesday evenings in the Choir Room and  leads the 11:00 Worship Service weekly. The choir sings at the 8:45 service on special occasions.  In addition to weekly services, the choir presents a major musical with full orchestra at Christmas and Easter. These musicals, both of which are presented at the morning worship services, are a highlight of the church year and serve as an outreach to our community.

ChoirAuditions are not required; however, it is necessary to have a good ear for music in order to participate. High school students as well as adults are welcome to sing with the Chancel Choir.

Celebration Orchestra - The Celebration Orchestra rehearses monthly on Sunday afternoon (in the Choir Room) one week prior to performance Sunday. Woodwind and Brass Ensembles are also featured occasionally for worship services. Any player with good high school or college experience is qualified to join. Advanced Middle School students may also qualify. Each musician must furnish his or her own instrument, but all music is provided.

The Joyful Bells - The handbell choir rehearses at 6:15 on Wednesday evenings in A-104. Youth and adults are eligible to participate; however, it is necessary to read music in order to qualify. The bells lead in worship on a regular basis and also perform at community events. Maria Currey, Director.

Praise Connection Children's Choirs - Praise Connection is our ministry program offered for elementary school children on Wednesday evenings during the school year, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. It is an hour filled with music, devotionals, Bible challenges and games. There are three age groups: Praise Kids (four-year-old - Kindergarten), Praise Friends (1st - 2nd grades) and Praise Makers (3rd - 5th grades). Each group sings periodically during the 11:00 a.m. worship service, and they give special musical performances in December and April.
