Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
—Psalm 96:1
Terrace is blessed with a diverse Music Ministry, offering enriching choir programs to children, youth and adults that allow “believer artists” to serve the Lord through the expression of their musical gifts.
Contributing artists to Terrace’s music program are Lavena Linhart, a gifted music instructor who coordinates our music ministries with energy and love; Michael Moore, a multi-talented guitarist and vocalist who leads worship at the Celebration Service; and Paul Jernigan, Jr., one of the most accomplished organists in Houston who plays monthly at the worship service.

Directed by Lavena Linhart, the Chancel Choir presents special anthems as well as seasonal choral works at the worship service. The Chancel Choir is always seeking new members who enjoy singing Christian music and blending with other voices.
Kidz Theatre
Boys and girls will focus on music and music theater; producing two musicals a year and serving as a musical ensemble at Sunday worship several times during the year. Rehearsals are Sundays @ 5:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall following a snack supper @ 5 p.m. in the Fellowship Center.
