Music Ministries
"Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." [Ephesians 5:19b-20]
Music and other "arts" play a significant role in worship at Otterbein. We enjoy a variety of musical styles ranging from traditional to contemporary - refined to "down home" - rehearsed to improv.
