Dr. Holly Carter
Minister of Music

Our Purpose

The music ministry is, and has always been, a vital element in the corporate worship experience. The Book of Psalms, in particular, gives us clear and vivid illustration of the who, what, where, when and how of praising and worshiping our Lord. Also, there are countless other Scriptural examples where music brought about healing, deliverance, and a deeper revelation of the mysteries of God.

Our Mission

It is the prayerful and committed mission of the Jurisdictional Music Department of First Jurisdiction to be the leaders of the corporate worship experience. We will accomplish this mission by maintaining a consecrated posture before the Lord, and staying in tune with the direction of the Holy Ghost and leadership in the midst of worship services.  And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. Nehemiah 8:6

It is likewise our endeavor to establish and build an army of singers and musicians through training and workshops, who will be equipped and empowered to demonstrate their gifts and talents in the service of the Lord as anointed professionals. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12
