Worship. A Lifestyle.
The Westmore Music Ministry Department is grateful to have many unique and creative productions throughout the year. As this area of ministry continues to grow and become increasingly innovative, we are always interested in ways individuals can effectively use their giftings beyond singing and musical instruments. If you are interested in any area of music ministry, we would love the opportunity to speak with you! Please contact the Music Department at 423-813-3433.
