Transforming lives through worship

Park’s Music Ministry enriches worship through diverse musical expressions and fosters deep connections among its members, creating a community of faith, support, and belonging.

Music is an integral part of Park Avenue Church’s identity. The wide range of musical genres heard on a given Sunday morning, from Gospel to Contemporary, Classical to Jazz, and Hymns to Blended styles, is a vital component of what makes Park a place of belonging. In our multicultural and multigenerational church body, this musical variety fosters inclusivity and connection across diverse backgrounds.
