- PROCLAMATION - Proclaim the GOSPEL in song

Children's Music
Music at Zion offers many opportunities for people of all ages to participate musically in worship. Our goals for children’s music at Zion are to provide children with musical opportunities that allow them to:
1) sing, ring and play music in worship
2) lead God’s people in worship
3) just plain have fun
The Children are given the opportunity to sing during worship several times throughout the year in a large group (with all of the BibleLand children) and in a smaller group setting (Good Heavens!). Rehearsals take place during BibleLand and at 10:30-11:00 am on select Sundays for Good Heavens!.
