One of the greatest challenges in starting or developing multicultural churches is worship and music style. It is difficult to find a single leader who has the skills and experiences needed to lead believers in heart-felt worship typical of every culture represented. However, our association is remarkably diverse and talented. When we gather we represent 70 languages and cultures.
Imagine a choir made up of musicians from diverse DBA churches. It’s a beautiful image, but who other than our Lord Jesus Christ, can bring us all together in unified worship? The Bible teaches that we should pursue unity with the spiritual gifts He has given us (Ephesians 4:1-16).
This is why we believe God wants to use a diverse group of worship leaders, singers, and instrumentalists from Dallas Baptist Associational churches to share with one another, through music, the styles in which our different cultures or ethnic groups profess our common faith and express our praise and adoration to our one Savior and Lord.
As we sing and rehearse together, each leader will model a typical worship rehearsal in his or her own culture. A leader will teach one or two songs, choruses, anthems, etc. to the choir just as they are sung by his or her own people. After hard work and warm fellowship, we will invite the members of our DBA churches to join us for periodic “Night(s) of Worship” that, with the Spirit’s help, will not only honor and glorify Jesus, but help us to see and understand the fullness of God and His Eternal Kingdom more completely.
We would like to invite you for breakfast and planning for this choir on Saturday, June 28,, 2008 at 9:00 at The Crossing Baptist Church, 1060 Clay-Mathis Rd. in Mesquite. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in recruiting for, singing with, co-accompanying, and/or co-leading such a choir, please come and share your ideas with us. To RSVP or for more information, please call Glenda Brown at 469-951-8210, Charlie Brown or Julie Galindo at The Crossing Baptist Church office at 972-222-7070.
