The Music Ministry at White Oak serves a three-dimensional function: Ministry to God, Ministry to the body of Christ,
and Ministry to the World. Our main purpose is found in step three of our church's Faith Statement. It states that
"White Oak exists to exalt Jesus Christ." The overall purpose of the music ministry is to strive to lead the people of
God into His presence and to worship Him in spirit and in truth. We seek to worship the Living God because of who
He is and what He has done for us in Christ Jesus. It is He and He alone who is worthy of our worship and our praise.

There are many avenues of music ministry that one can become involved in here at White Oak. The avenues of music
are open to persons of all ages and abilities and include: the Adult Choir, Handbells,
Adult Ensemble, the Youth
Praise Team, and Audio Reinforcement. Our goal is to be leaders of worship through the medium of music and to lead
in worship as effectively as possible and to the best of our ability. If you are looking for a place to serve in music ministry
