VOICES OF PRAISE
The choir is one of the oldest groups in church history. It is of the Priesthood, dating back to the Old Testament Worship. It comprises of a group of musicians that sing and play, musical instruments to lead worship in God’s presence. In the Old Testament, the Choir was usually made up of the Son’s of Levi who led worship in the Tabernacle. This rite was their sole obligation.
– 1 Chronicles 15:16, 6:31, 2 Chronicles 7:6
Because music has an eternal function in the worship of Jehovah God, the Choir also becomes relevant in the New Testament Church.
– Revelations 5:11, Matthew 26:30, Acts 16:25
