Music Ministry
Having music in your life brings you into a new appreciation of the beauty of sound and color, rhythm and tempo. People who share in music-making enjoy a strong sense of companionship and community. Your communication with God is taken to a new level and you have a connection with your own spirit that is a constant source of comfort, joy and healing.
These are pretty good reasons to sing in the choirs, play in the band, or ring bells here at Foothills!

Our Leadership:
Dennis Keller - Music director
Linda Cree - Director of bell choirs
Tim Robertson - Praise band director
Our mission is to convey God's word through music and the arts, and to make available to our children, youth and adults the opportunity to praise God in song and symbol. Though one in the Spirit, God has given us varied gifts. As a community in Christ, we will provide opportunities for all to enhance and share their gifts through education and presentation to the congregation and the community. Click here to join a choir.

The group performs songs from a diverse selection of Christian artists, like Lincoln Brewster, Casting Crowns, Kutless, Francesca Battistelli, Third Day, Addison Road, 33Miles, MercyMe, and many more. Music is the “international language” and it speaks in many dialects. Witness cordially invites you to check out their website!
