COGIC INTERNATIONAL

Music Department

The Music Department is dedicated to glorifying God and enriching our worship experience through the power of music. Comprised of talented and passionate musicians, vocalists, and worship leaders, our department seeks to lead the congregation into a deeper connection with God during our services and events. We believe in the transformative power of music to uplift the spirit, unify the community, and enhance our collective worship. Through a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary gospel music, we aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can encounter the presence of the Holy Spirit. Our Music Department also provides opportunities for individuals to develop their musical gifts and serve the church with their talents.
