Music at the Beatitudes

Partnered with the spoken word, music is the centerpiece of our worship, and provides us with a rich setting for meaningful fellowship. A comprehensive music program provides the opportunity to utilize the talents of volunteers and professionals.

It is the mission of the Church of the Beatitudes' Music Programs to offer people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to be witnesses through sharing their musical gifts in praise and thanksgiving for all of God's wonderful works.

Voices of Worship Soloists

The Music program at Church of the Beatitudes is blessed to have the opportunity to hire professional singers to enhance our worship experiences. Many of our staff singers are students at Arizona State University, and we are glad to assist them in their studies through supporting their talents. Our soloists serve as vocal leaders in the Sanctuary Choir and Voices of Worship, and provide musical leadership for our 10:30 worship services. They frequently share their talents through solos in all our worship services, and occasionally present recitals and concerts.
