Music & Worship Arts
At Bethany, we’re passionate about encountering God through art and beauty. If you play, sing, dance, or want to learn, this is the place for you.
The Bethany Music Ministry is multigenerational and multiethnic. We enjoy bringing people together to make music and worship the Lord. Our “Joy, He Shall Reign” video features participants from all areas of the Bethany music ministry from the youngest to the oldest. We also strive for our music selections to reflect the people in our congregation and community. Our “Breathe” video is an example of how we bring other languages into the worship service. We also enjoy leaning into worship genres that reflect the diversity within our congregation. “Amen” is originally written and performed by Baltimore based gospel artist Anthony Brown. Here is Anthony Brown’s song recorded by the Bethany Church Gospel Team.
