Music and Worship

The Music and Worship Ministry of Hilltop Church is ever-growing and changing. It is a ministry made up of volunteers that desire to use the unique gifts that they have been given, by God, to lift the name of Jesus and assist the church body in lifting their hearts and voices in praise to God. The music and worship at Hilltop is guided by Colossians 3:16 which says "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." We are committed to providing all people of all ages the opportunity to use their musical gifts. Here are many of the opportunities in music and worship offered to the family of Hilltop. You may request a Worship Ministry Manual if you would like to learn detailed information about this ministry.

Special Music Groups
Hilltop is blessed to have many talented singers and musicians. Each Sunday, many of these people use their talent by singing solos and participating in small groups. There are many trios, quartets, and ensembles that provide music each service. These people are selected from the choir and orchestra for showing above-average ability and commitment to faithfulness. 

Senior Adult Choir
We feel that everyone should have the opportunity to sing in a choir no matter their age. That is why the Senior Adult Choir is so important. This ministry provides a chance to sing for those who may not be physically able to make a commitment to the demanding schedule of the Worship Choir. This choir is a high-light of each month and is open to all people ages 55 and up.

Youth Choir
This energetic group is open to all students 7th-12th grade. The Youth Choir sings every month and rehearses each Wednesday from 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. The Youth Choir is considered very important since it is the future of the Worship Choir. High value is placed on heart-felt singing that promotes good singing habits. Plus, it is alot of fun!

Kid's Choir
The Kid's Choir is open to all students 3rd-6th grade and rehearses each Sunday evening from 5:55 - 6:25 p.m. They sing each month and have a great time while doing it. Much emphasis is placed on the enjoyment of singing as well as the joy of serving God. 

Pastor's Band
Open to all children up to 2nd grade, this group sings most Sunday evenings. Although there is no formal rehearsal for this group, they learn and sing familiar Bible songs that most of us have heard growing up. There is never a dull moment with this group and they are always excited to sing for their Pastor.
