West Haven Baptist Church Statement on Music
We believe that God is the audience to Whom we sing. God desires a new song (in quality, not necessarily in chronology) that is diametrically opposed to the songs of the world. Our "sacrifice of praise" should not be spotted, blemished, or conformed to this world in style, substance, or delivery; but be distinct from the world, doctrinally correct, and focusing our thoughts on Him. Our music and worship style are intentionally conservative.
Congregational singing is extremely important to us as this is a time when every believer can join in making a joyful noise to the Lord. Our choir, individual and group vocalists, and instrumentalists present selections with a desire to honor God, not to spotlight musical ability. He is our song.
“The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.” Psalm 118:14
