JOIN THE WORSHIP TEAM
The heart of Mount Vernon Worship is to be more than musicians. Our desire is to be a family who enjoys loving Jesus through the music and worship that we offer Him together. We want to be bright lights where God's unwavering promises SHINE in us and through us... deepening faith, encouraging growth, and creating a culture of worship where Jesus is the one and only person we praise.
For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus's sake. For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
- 2 Corinthians 4:5-6

KiDS Choir & PK Praise
KiDS Choir is a music and worship opportunity for children from 1st grade through 5th.
PK Praise is a music and worship opportunity for children from age 3 through Kindergarten.
Children in both groups will have the opportunity to learn songs that tell of God’s glory; they'll use them to worship Him, and then lead others in worship. Our little singers learn that their voices are special and that God delights in hearing them sing His praises!
