"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord"
— Ephesians 5:19
The choir holds a significant and irreplaceable role in our worship services. In Eastern Christian worship, the richness of the liturgy — comprised of prayers, hymns, and chants deeply rooted in theological and biblical truth — stands out as a defining characteristic. The Church Choir plays a crucial part in ensuring these sacred elements are delivered with faithfulness and beauty.
The primary aim of the choir is to enhance the Holy Qurbana and spread the teachings of Jesus Christ through music — songs that aid believers in their spiritual journey with Christ and guide the whole congregation into deeper worship.
Both humans and angels possess the gift of making music, and there exists a profound connection between music and heavenly encounters. In the book of Revelation, angels sing praises and worship God — it is fitting for God's earthly followers to join in that chorus through music offered in His name.
Every voice raised in song is an act of devotion — a gift offered to God and the congregation gathered in His name.
The choir carries the ancient hymns and chants of the Mar Thoma tradition — rooted in theological depth and biblical truth — delivering them with reverence and beauty in every service.
The choir's primary mission is to enhance the Holy Qurbana — leading the congregation into the sacred mystery of worship through song that opens hearts to encounter the living God.
Music is proclamation. Through every hymn and spiritual song, the choir spreads the teachings of Jesus Christ — the Word made melody — reaching hearts that may be closed to words alone.
Scripture reveals that angels sing before the throne of God. When the choir lifts its voice, it joins that eternal chorus — earthly worship merging with the heavenly song of all creation.
The choir does not sing for the congregation but with them — guiding every voice in the pew into a harmonious act of praise, creating one unified sound offered to the glory of God.
The songs chosen and sung by the choir serve as companions on each believer's spiritual walk — marking seasons of faith, grief, joy, and renewal with music that endures in the heart.
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.— Colossians 3:16
If you have a heart for worship and a voice to sing, the choir welcomes you. Come and add your voice to this ministry of praise — every voice matters in the chorus of God's glory.
