Music @ Riverview
The heart of the music ministry at Riverview is worship. Worship is our highest calling and should be the motivation behind everything we do (I Cor.10:31). If God has given you musical gifts, then you’ll be encouraged at Riverview to commit those gifts unto the Lord as a sacrifice of worship. There are many areas of service for all ages within the music ministry:
Worship Choir
The primary role of the Worship Choir is to model and help lead the congregation in authentic corporate worship on Sundays. It is a non-auditioned group of singers which means that anyone over 18 is welcome to come and join us! The Worship Choir also sings anthems from a variety of styles and participates in at least one major production a year (e.g. Christmas, Easter, July 4th).
When: 6:30-8:00 PM - Wednesdays
Where: Choir Room
Worship Orchestra
If you can play an instrument or used to play one “back in the day,” then the Worship Orchestra might be a great ministry for you. Instrumental praise was instituted during the reign of King David for tabernacle worship and included all manner of stringed and wind instruments (I Chronicles). It’s an ancient tradition that we joyfully continue here at Riverview.
The Worship Orchestra plays every Sunday for the blended service and for other musical events throughout the year.
When: 6:30-8:00 PM - Wednesdays

Praise Team
The Praise Team consists of members from the Worship Choir and helps to lead worship during the blended service on a rotation basis.

Student Choir
This ministry consists of youth (grades 7-12) who enjoy music and love singing for Jesus Christ! The Student Choir has the opportunity to sing in services throughout the year, in addition to performing in at least one major production a year (e.g. Christmas, Easter). They also go on a week-long tour during the summer in which they sing at various venues across the country.
